Adversarial Divorce Process
by Harlan Jacobsen Copyright
This is what happens when you can not agree, or one refuses to negotiate, or one has ran out and “hired an attorney” to take their erring spouse for “everything they have”.
Once an Attorney Gets His Head In Side The Tent ………
Here is what happens….
- Adds years or frustrating and agonizing months to a painful process. (do not say we did not warn you)
- Will cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fattening fees.
- You lose control of your divorce settlement, once retained, don’t kid yourself, the attorneys call ALL the shots.
- Your life will essentially have been given over and puts your life “out of your control” for an extended period.
- Once started, with attorneys, there is little or no chance of you getting control of your divorce and your life back. As to when that will end is strictly up to the attorneys.
- The law requires TWO attorneys, adding in these two more personalities, will quadruples the hassle and the duration.
- So much animosity will be stirred up in the turmoil with attorneys and the spouse,, you will often both be “bitter” for years.
- The emotional devastation of the divorce “coming a part” process trauma will be fed by legal hassles for months and raised to “unbearable” levels.
- Kids will be harmed long term with this custody, visitation and support turmoil up in the air for months.
- Moving on to a new life will be held up for months for parents and children alike.
- Over 20% of adversarial divorces wind up back in court at a later time after the divorce.
- Hassles can continue to come up involving attorneys for years after the divorce.
