DIVORCE
Traditional divorce cases can be stressful and expensive. Collaborative divorce is an excellent alternative to traditional divorce. Collaborative divorce is more affordable, faster, and less stressful than traditional divorce. And, with collaborative divorce, you can avoid going to court. Matrium Law Group can also help you with a “simple” or uncontested divorce, which can be handled less expensively and without you having to go to court.
PARENTING PLANS
Child custody disputes can be a distressing and challenging aspect of separation or divorce for many parents. Custody battles are stressful and expensive. You’ll need to pay attorneys’ fees, court fees, and you may need to hire an expert, such as a therapist or a counselor, to testify on your behalf at the trial. On top of all that, you'll probably need to take time off work to meet with your attorney and attend court hearings, which can result in lost income. And, when you litigate, things can get ugly. Much of the information revealed in the courtroom will become part of the public record that anyone can access.
In a collaborative parenting plan, you will have more control to create a parenting schedule that works for you. Instead of handing off the child custody decisions to the court, in a collaborative parenting plan you can build a child custody schedule that fits your unique family situation. Collaborative parenting plans are more affordable, faster, less stressful, and more private than traditional contested parenting plans.
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
A prenuptial agreement is a written contract created by two people before they are married. Typically, a prenup lists all of the property each person owns and debts they owe, and it spells out each person's property rights during the marriage and in the event that they later get divorced. Contrary to popular opinion, prenups are not just for the rich. In fact, many people create prenups for the sole purpose of establishing clear guidelines for caring for and custody of their pets during a divorce (called “pet prenups” or “petnups”). One of the primary components of a pet prenup is outlining who will retain custody of the pet and how responsibilities such as feeding, grooming, and veterinary care will be divided. Pet prenups can help you avoid costly pet custody battles.
