Divorce is the result of one or many issues, but regardless of the cause, it is a very emotional and stressful time in your life. Whether you are the person filing for divorce or the one receiving the surprising news, the emotion and tension are equally high and sometimes painful. In addition to the emotional stress felt, you probably are experiencing fear – fear of the next, new chapter in your life, fear of the unknown, and fear of the legal system. At Cleaves Law Firm, we will take the time to get to know you, understand your needs, explain your options and help you achieve your goals in the divorce process.

Divorce involves many important issues:

• your rights and duties as a parent,
• how important decisions regarding your children will be made,
• how you and your spouse will divide and share time with your children,
• payment of child support,
• provision of health insurance for the children, and
• division of your assets and liabilities.

At Cleaves Law Firm, our attorneys are experienced and dedicated to guiding you through all of these issues so that you are able to make informed decisions about your post-divorce life and that of your children.

In addition to the many important issues you will need to consider, our firm is also experienced in helping you to choose the process by which to resolve your divorce. Traditional litigation is a route still chosen by many divorcing couples, and our attorneys have the experience to lead you through that process. But we also value the important benefits provided by other options to resolve your divorce. We are trained and experienced in the collaborative law process. If you and your spouse opt to resolve your dispute in this manner, we will guide and educate you through every stage of the process and enable you and your spouse to end your marriage with dignity and respect, an invaluable gift for your children.
