Hello World! When people are in love and they are getting married, they never imagine that it will end. Unfortunately, marriages end in divorce in a high percentage of cases. Some divorces are smooth, with both parties agreeing on how the assets should be divided, and how the child custody should be handled. There are also divorces that are extremely contentious, with both parties fighting over every last detail. In many cases, this is just done out of spite, in an attempt to hurt the other person. If you are a man and your marriage is coming to an end, it is imperative that you retain the services of a skilled divorce attorney, like the ones employed by Cordell & Cordell. Here are some examples of why a good divorce attorney is important.
Get the child custody you desire
In the old days, men had no chance of getting even part-time custody of their children. It was just assumed by the courts that children always needed to be cared for by their mother. Therefore, fathers were regularly defeated in court in child custody cases. However, those attitudes have changes a lot in recent years. Courts are now listening to both sides of the story, regularly granting custody to men who prove themselves to be better parents than their ex-wives. The outcome of custody cases is no longer a foregone conclusion like it used to be. Having an experienced divorce lawyer working for you to obtain custody of your children will improve your odds of success tremendously. If a lawyer has handled many divorce cases before, he or she will be aware of many tricks that your ex-wife’s lawyer might try to damage your credibility as a parent. Your lawyer will then devise a strategy to combat this.
Defend your assets
If your marriage comes to an end, a good divorce attorney will be able to negotiate a settlement that will give your ex-wife the appropriate amount of money. You will not be forced to pay exorbitant amounts of alimony for many years to come. You can avoid paying a percentage of your future earnings to someone you are no longer married to. These types of nightmare scenarios can be avoided, buy you will need skilled legal guidance in order to do it.
Have a lovely day and remember to be kind to one another!
