Litigation: An Overview

Divorce litigation, criminal defense, and personal injury claims can have a significant emotional and financial impact. To navigate these complex issues, a litigation attorney is vital for achieving the desired outcome.

But what does this actually entail? Keep reading to learn about the key elements and considerations of three main areas of litigation.

Divorce litigation in Connecticut

Going through a divorce is complicated and emotional. Divorce litigation is often a sensible option when parties may be experiencing challenges with cooperating or when there are unusual issues to consider. A lawyer will help you make the right choices based on the facts and provide guidance on complicated legal and financial matters.

What considerations are there in divorce litigation?

There are many considerations to take into account, and a qualified attorney can help with elements such as:

  • Dividing property and assets: Assets should be divided and protected in the most effective way possible. Your lawyer will also make you aware of the impact of this activity on your current finances, tax, and personal life.

  • Parenting plans and child support: When you are looking to protect the consistency of your children’s lives and also ensure a fair and reasonable division of time between both parents, parenting and child support plans become useful assets.

  • Spousal support: In cases where spousal support is required, your attorney can advocate for the best result for you.

  • Understanding the future: Important documents that should be reviewed include your will, your retirement benefits, and more.
