Determining the Best Path for Divorce
That nature of divorce makes it a complex process. Divorce can be contested or uncontested. There can be fault or no fault. It can go to mediation, settle or go to court. There are also numerous variables to be considered. Who will take the kids, house and family business?
With so many elements to consider, it is important to work with a lawyer who can help you understand each option and the possible ramifications that may follow. That is what Mavrides Law offers clients throughout Quincy and Boston, Massachusetts.
With over 25 years of experience, attorney Marcia Mavrides works closely with clients to effectively resolve their divorce matters.
Contested Versus Uncontested Divorce
Divorces are either contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorce tends to be less expensive, involve less emotional trauma, and gives both parties more control over the outcome.
If both parties are willing to work together to resolve all issues stemming from their divorce, they may consider mediation. A neutral third-party mediator will help the parties come to an agreement regarding all divorce related matters. Attorney Mavrides is a trained and certified neutral third-party mediator. Depending on the needs of her clients, she can represent a client in mediation or act as the mediator.
Contested divorces are more appropriate when the parties do not agree on most issues. When Attorney Mavrides represents clients, she fights for their rights and works to ensure that their rights are protected throughout the process. She is a competent advocate and knows contested divorce law well.
The divorce process affects both parties in short and long-term matters. Attorney Mavrides works closely with clients to help them make the best decisions for their future.
Fault Versus No Fault Divorce
In Massachusetts, there are two kinds of divorce: fault and no fault. If you file a complaint for divorce on a fault ground, you must factually prove the ground as the reason for the divorce. Grounds for divorce include abuse, adultery, impotency and imprisonment. Both fault and no fault divorce can be contested or uncontested.
Receiving a Second Opinion on Your Divorce Matters
The final terms of a divorce agreement can permanently impact the quality of a person's life. For that reason, it can be beneficial to have a knowledgeable, independent attorney review the potential settlement and analyze your options. Attorney Mavrides provides a confidential second opinion by reviewing and analyzing a case at any stage in the family law process. In many circumstances, this second opinion can be completed for a flat fee rate. Even if a person already has an attorney representing them, she will provide a "second look" at their case.
