Going through a divorce can be stressful and emotionally draining. You will need an experienced divorce lawyer to help you with the process — someone who will work to make sure all negotiations and communications are handled in a timely and civil matter. The attorneys at MacVean, Lewis, Sherwin & McDermott, P.C. in Middletown, NY, are experienced in helping their clients work through divorce matters with ease and peace of mind.

Here are a few ways working with a divorce lawyer will help you maintain a healthy and civil divorce:

• Helps Negotiate Without Going To Court: In many cases, the divorce case doesn’t even have to go to court. If you and your partner can come to a fair and reasonable agreement, you will not need to pay high court fees and endure a complicated process in court. This can save you both time and money.
• Improves Communications: Even if you and your partner are disagreeing about issues surrounding the divorce, your divorce lawyer will help you set realistic expectations when approaching your spouse and their attorney. A divorce lawyer will also help you stay focused on your goals, which will help you better handle an otherwise volatile situation.
• Creates Fair Agreements: You and your spouse will need to arrive at some sort of agreement on how to settle the case, how to divide assets, and how to set up child visitation schedules. Your divorce lawyer will help you draft a fair agreement to satisfy both parties. This will help you and your partner come to a resolution more quickly and maintain a civil divorce.
