Divorce AlternativesBesides the actual divorce, there are two main kinds of separations that a divorce attorney may be of assistance with for couples who do not want to continue their relationship as is.The most common of these is a legal separation, where the couple makes a permanent decision to separate without actually getting a divorce. Unlike a trial separation, which couples can do on their own and which doesn't really need to have a divorce lawyer involved, a legal separation can involve issues like alimony, child support and division of assets.
In the case of either legal separation or annulment, a divorce attorney is needed in order to help their client wade through the many turbulent matters that are a by-product of separating from a spouse. Ultimately though, the ideal divorce alternative may simply be a cooling off period, including counseling, so that the couple may in time come to realize that they do not wish to be apart at all. |
