At Smith Legal Group, we understand that your choice of legal representation is essential to the outcome of your case, and we are here to help.

Your Divorce

Your divorce won’t look exactly the same as anyone else’s, but it will contain many of the same basic components, including (as applicable): 

• The division of your marital property
• Addressing child custody and visitation arrangements
• Child support payments
• Alimony or spousal maintenance, also referred to as spousal support

Each of these matters can reverberate meaningfully into your and your children’s future, which is why our LaPorte divorce lawyers always work to resolve divorces in the most favorable way possible. 

Coming to Mutually Acceptable Terms

You and your divorcing spouse will have to come to mutually acceptable terms related to each component that applies to your divorce before it can be finalized. If you cannot reach an agreement on your own, the court will do so on your behalf. This does not, however, mean that you and your soon-to-be-ex have to instantly agree on every term that comes before you (which very rarely happens). Instead, each of you – along with your respective divorce lawyers – will have many opportunities to hammer out terms that you are willing to accept. An agreement can be reached in many ways: 

• The least intrusive path forward is for you and your spouse to negotiate terms between yourselves and, once they’re established, present them to your respective LaPorte divorce lawyers, who will help ensure that these terms support your rights and best interests. 
• If you need more intervention, your respective divorce lawyers can negotiate on your behalf for terms that you and your divorcing spouse must mutually agree to in the end. 
• If terms remain unresolved, you can move to mediation, which involves negotiating terms (with or without your respective divorce lawyers by your side) under the guidance of a professional mediator. You can’t be forced to sign off on terms established in mediation, but if you do sign off on said terms, they become binding. 

It’s important to point out that agreeing to divorce terms is not an all-or-nothing proposition. If you can come to an agreement on one or more terms, it means you’ll have fewer terms for the court to address.
