Your divorce is not about you.
If your lawyer sounds like your therapist, you need to run the other way. Your lawyer needs to be focused on the law and on outcomes: What they can do for you.
Divorce is about making intelligent, strategic decisions while your heart is in your throat, your clothes are on the lawn, and your eyes stare at your bank account.
There are no shortcuts to a successful outcome in divorce. At Divergent Family Law we minimize uncertainty and disruption with calculated planning for what you want your life to look like after the dust settles.
Divorce is the disassembly of a legal contract, the division of assets, and the legal assigning of responsibility for property that cannot be physically divided. For any children, divorce determines who has decision making authority over and the physical placement of them. The Wisconsin child custody and child support laws used to determine monthly child support payments and welfare of your child are complex, but there are specific factors that prioritize the well-being of your child. The following factors help determine the monthly child support you or your child’s other parent must pay:
Don’t let the fear of legal costs determine your representation.
Low rates are no substitute for skill and compatibility.
Our approach to divorce is deliberate and determined. You tell us what defines a successful outcome for you, and we create and execute a legal strategy to protect what you value most.
Investing in a good divorce lawyer is investing in your future. You need a family law firm with experience, resources, and a track record you can trust.
Don’t start your new life saddled with a regret-filled divorce.
The person ruling on your divorce is a person too.
Just like spouses and attorneys, judges have their own priorities, personalities, and tendencies.
With one judge, a dry “just the facts” approach can win brownie points. Others favor arguments with more of an emotional appeal.
At Divergent Family Law, we consider every aspect influencing the outcome of your divorce and tailor our strategies based on all the factors.
Divorce isn’t about you – not yet.
Until the final divorce decree, it’s about protecting and investing in your future happiness.
Divorce is universally stressful and expensive. Intelligent planning for your future happiness should be your primary objective during the divorce process.
When you take away the stigma, disruption, and drama, divorce is just a legal process. We’ll help you define your goals and use our knowledge of the legal system to obtain the best possible start to the next chapter of your life.
