Divorce litigation is the unwinding of a marital relationship in a court setting. When litigation is involved, it is typically because the parties do not agree on what the marital estate is worth and how the estate should be divided. In cases involving children, the parties may disagree about custody, parenting time, and other important parenting issues. These cases can be high conflict – they might feel exhausting, complicated, and overwhelming. They often require at least one hearing in front of a judge and sometimes require a trial to determine the ultimate result.
