Divorce Litigation Attorney

Divorce litigation is the process of going through the courts when there are contested issues in a divorce.  

What is Divorce Litigation?

Litigation is the process by which family law matters are resolved in court. In court, decisions are made by a judge in the form of court orders. These orders are legally binding, and both parties must comply with the orders as they are written, unless successfully appealed.

When is Divorce Litigation Used?

The litigation process can be used at any time, but it is commonly used when two people cannot resolve their issues through any other means, a party needs information, or a party needs to file to protect their rights.

The litigation process, while time-consuming, may be the only means to protect the things that are most important to you and your family.

While in litigation, parties can resolve their case outside of court at any time and end the litigation.

Success Stories

Gaining Physical Custody in Relocation Case

Challenge

The mother of our client’s children planned to move away for a new job opportunity, taking the children with her. She had been the primary parent, so our client wished to gain sole physical custody of the children, allowing them to remain in the DC area.

Strategy

Lerch Early argued before the court that the children would be best served to stay in this area with their father. We worked with key experts to demonstrate that a move to the new location would be detrimental to the children’s interests.

Result

The judge awarded sole physical custody to our client, allowing the children to remain in the environment where they attended school and had friends.
