When you're dealing with the emotional fallout of a divorce on top of trying to negotiate its legal complexities, knowing what you're doing and what to expect in court is key. That's where the team at the Cavanaugh-Bill Law Offices has proven to be invaluable. When you need a family law attorney or a child support attorney, their lawyers have your back—they're dedicated to seeing to it that you obtain the kind of favorable resolution that you need and deserve.

Though appearing in divorce court is a daunting prospect to most people, there are specific things you can do to prepare for it. It's wise to make a list of all the property that you and your spouse own jointly, and then divide the list into assets you'd like to keep and property you'd be willing to let your spouse have. You should also scrupulously tally up all the debts you've accumulated as a couple. Ideally, the sum of money owed, as it pertains to how much you're willing to pay, should be equal to the amount you're requesting your spouse to pay (such delineations serve to simplify the negotiation process, and they demonstrate fairness and credibility on your part).

It's also wise to attend other divorce hearings so you can get an idea of what to expect. It may also be helpful to ask a friend to come along with you to all your proceedings to lend moral support.

With the aid of a savvy and compassionate attorney, however, you'll be able to rest assured that all your bases will be covered, no matter what. That leads to the kind of peace of mind that really makes a difference and serves to make the entire process of separation easier, from start to finish.
