How to get a divorce

Our goal in your consultation is to give you as much information and legal options as possible so you can make the best decisions for your family. Do you have to go to court? No, in fact approximately 80% of our clients never set foot in court. 

Working with Easterling Law offers several benefits, which includes our holistic approach to legal matters. This approach considers the whole person, not just the legal issue at hand. We consider all parties involved in emotional, physical, and financial well-being, ensuring that the legal solution provided is tailored to your unique needs. This approach can lead to better outcomes and greater satisfaction for your Family. Additionally, Easterling Law has a team of experienced attorneys who provide personalized attention and excellent service to our clients.

Generally, the process involves negotiating the divorce terms, including property division, spousal support, and child custody. This could be resolved through an out of court contract. But if we do need to file a court case, you may never have to set foot in court.

We understand that divorce can be an emotionally draining process and it affects everyone involved. That’s why it’s essential to understand your options. You see, not all Family Law matters include resolving disputes within the court. Can both parties view your family law issue as a “problem to be solved” and not a “competition to win?” If so, you can resolve your disputes outside of court using the collaborative law method.

Collaborative law is a process where two parties work together, with trained professionals’ assistance, to resolve a dispute without going to court. This approach allows the parties to communicate openly and constructively to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. It’s a more collaborative and less adversarial approach to conflict resolution. It can often be a faster and more cost-effective option than going to court. Understanding your options and what will work best for your Family’s best outcome matters.

At Easterling Law Family Law, we are committed to providing a holistic approach to legal services. This helps our clients to achieve a non-litigated resolution for any disputes while delivering family law services that account for the whole person, including their emotions, values, and unique family dynamics.

Our Team is here to help! Not only are we dedicated to resolving your disputes in a less adversarial approach, but at Easterling Family Law, we respect the dignity

and integrity of every individual involved in each case. We listen intently to understand our client’s needs so that each feels supported and prepared to encounter the family law court system.
