If the problems in your marriage have reached a crisis stage and you are considering a divorce (dissolution of marriage), first explore all possibilities of saving your marriage. Often, marriages can be saved with the help of skilled marriage and family counselors. If you do not know a counselor, we can recommend one who is properly qualified.
If your marriage cannot be saved, there is still a good chance that you can negotiate a divorce that is fair to both of you without an angry and destructive battle.
It is possible to negotiate your differences in a reasonable way. With the lawyer's help, negotiations with your spouse can be productive and fair. Trouble starts when a husband or wife demands too much or offers too little. Reasonable positions lead to reasonable solutions, which lead to divorces that are less painful, less destructive, and less expensive.
Counseling helps reduce the anger that some people feel during divorce proceedings. Angry divorces tend to be expensive——financially and emotionally. Your attorney's fee will depend in large part on how many hours are spent on your behalf. Angry divorces take more time and thus cost more money.
