Contested Divorces in Knoxville, TN
While we support mediation and collaborative law as means to amicably resolve divorce disputes, the fact remains that unresolvable conflict is The Big Reason people find themselves in a contested divorce. Divorce most often resembles the breakdown of a relationship over lack of trust, and without that trust, reaching an amicable resolution is a challenge. More often, a low-conflict or agreed divorce is simply unrealistic.
But a contested divorce is nothing to fear. A “contested divorce” occurs whenever the parties have not agreed on every detail about how their relationship is going to work when their marriage is over. Most people have hardly thought about how the future is going to go because they are usually too wrapped up in the stress and grief and disappointment of the present.
We’re here to tell you that the future, after divorce, is actually bright. There’s nothing worse than a bad marriage, and ending it with a good divorce can be a glorious process, where you find yourself again, renew your relationship with your children, achieve economic independence, and even – gasp – find love. Contested divorces can be the stuff of television drama but it doesn’t have to be that way. Having a good divorce lawyer guide you through the process is simply key. We should not content ourselves by sitting with you while you are sad and angry. At Held Law Firm, we work with you to design a family future where you can be happy.
We can’t mend broken hearts, and neither can the court. But we can get the evidence to prove that you are in the right, even information that your ex-spouse does not want us to get. Getting that information and proving your case is at the heart of the process of getting a contested divorce finished with a good family for you when it’s over. It is arguably what we do best.
