Reasons You Need to Hire a Divorce Lawyer

  • To protect your legal rights. Divorce can be an emotional and complex legal process, and various laws and regulations govern child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. A lawyer can help guide you through the divorce process and ensure you understand your own legal rights and protect your interests.
  • To negotiate a settlement agreement. If you and your spouse can agree on all of the issues in your divorce, your lawyer can help you draft a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement is a legally binding document that specifies the terms of your divorce, including child custody, child support, alimony, and property division.
  • To represent you in court. If you and your spouse can not agree on your divorce on your own, your lawyer can represent you in court. A divorce lawyer can help you present your case to the judge and advocate for your interests.

When most people imagine divorce, they think of emotional arguments in the courtroom and impersonal judges delivering final rulings without regard for the personal dynamics at play in the case. Johnson O’Keefe specializes in helping our clients navigate complex divorce cases. We will help you identify the most contentious aspects of your divorce and discern any other variables likely to cause problems in your case.

Our team can help with all preliminary court filings, help you meet all applicable deadlines, and prepare you for each new phase of your divorce. When you have the opportunity to resolve aspects of your divorce privately, we will help you take full advantage of alternative dispute resolution to streamline your divorce. No attorney can ever promise a client a specific outcome to their case, but rest assured that when you choose Johnson O’Keefe to represent you in a divorce case, you will have responsive and compassionate legal counsel readily available to address the unique aspects of your divorce.

Why Consider Hiring a Reputable Divorce Lawyer

  • You have children, and you need to make decisions about child custody and child support.
  • You have a complex financial situation, such as a business or investment account.
  • You have a spouse who is abusive or controlling.
  • You have concerns about your spouse hiding assets or alienating you from your children.
  • You are unsure of your legal rights or how to navigate the divorce process.

Even if you and your spouse are amicable and have already agreed on most of the issues in your divorce, it is still a good idea to consult with a divorce lawyer to ensure that your rights are protected and that your settlement agreement is fair.

An experienced and top rated divorce attorney will be an invaluable asset for crafting a custody case. While judges typically prefer to develop custody arrangements that provide children with as much access to both of their parents as possible, every family has different needs, schedules, and other everyday concerns that must be addressed in a custody determination. Most custody resolutions will also include terms for child support, which is money paid from a noncustodial parent to a custodial parent each month to account for their child’s basic living expenses.

Benefits of Working with Johnson O'Keefe

  • Experience and expertise. Divorce lawyers have the experience and expertise to help you navigate the divorce process and protect your interests.
  • Negotiation skills. Our divorce attorneys are skilled negotiators who can help you reach a fair settlement agreement with your spouse.
  • Legal representation. If your spouse hired a divorce lawyer, it is essential that you consider hiring your own lawyer to represent you in court.
  • Peace of mind. Hiring a divorce lawyer can help provide clarity, as you will know that your rights are protected and that a skilled professional is representing you.
  • Innovative Approach to Customer Service. Our leadership has invested in technology so that we can work efficiently and provide accessibility to our clients through the divorce process. We have Zoom, TEAMS, and Google Meet virtual meeting platforms conveniently available to our clients.

“They took a very stressful situation and made it a very pleasant storm.”

I wasn’t familiar with the process of child custody but I must say not only did Myles and his team direct me properly but it was a process that wasn’t money motivated. Very professional group, I was constantly informed of any step or move needed to be made. When you have someone in your corner that understands the importance of family it makes the situation a ton easier, thank you Myles and Johnson group for everything!
