This is why the best lawyers always start by looking at the most cost-effective family law and divorce options.

If your matter requires a resolution in the family law courts, the divorce lawyers will aggressively advocate your position.

However, we know that in most family law cases it is much more cost-effective and efficient to attempt alternative dispute resolution processes.

This may include mediation with a third-party divorce lawyer or family law arbitration. Further, it might include processes through the family law courts such as judicial dispute resolution and case conferences.

Moreover, there is an emotional and psychological cost in any divorce process that should not be overlooked.

It may be possible to go to court and extract a little more family property or spousal support.

Family law process

However, it may not be worth the emotional toll this process can have on the entire family. These are factors that must be weighed when determining the family law process that is appropriate for you.

Many couples going through a divorce can come to an agreement on their own. Therefore, they only need the assistance of a divorce lawyer to draft their separation agreement or divorce documents.

The lawyers encourage this process by providing separating couples with hassle-free flat rates for uncontested family law matters. These flat rates might include the following:

• uncontested divorce
• separation agreement
• uncontested cohabitation
• prenuptial agreement
