HELPING YOU THROUGH THE DIVORCE LEGAL PROCESS

Few people walk down the aisle expecting their marriage will end in divorce. Unfortunately, divorce is a common by-product of getting married these days, which is why it is important to have a dedicated divorce lawyer in Orlando, FL on your side if your marriage is coming to an end. Craig Bourne has handled a broad spectrum of divorce cases in his 25+ years of practice, and he is ready to guide you through the process of divorce, whether it is amicable or viciously contested.

Going through Divorce Mediation

While divorce is never easy, in some situations it is the best choice for both parties. Many couples are able to resolve their differences to come to a mutual divorce, eliminating the need for a decision by the judge.

If both parties can agree to complete all of the necessary paperwork, and there are no disputed issues to be decided by the judge, then the case can be filed and completed as an uncontested case. Our attorney is here to help guide you through this process to ensure your settlement agreement addresses all important matters. An agreement for legal dissolution of marriage should address the following:
  • Child Custody
  • Time Sharing
  • Child Support
  • Division of Marital Assets and Liabilities
  • Division of Retirement Savings
  • Attorneys’ Fees
