Skilled Negotiators and Fierce Litigators

The vast majority of divorce cases are resolved by means of a settlement. To get to a settlement, negotiations are usually necessary. At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., we will facilitate discussions between you and your spouse on all of the issues relevant to your unique situation. Our team will assist you in addressing the division of marital assets and debts, as well as considerations for spousal support if such support is appropriate. If you and your spouse have children, we will help you draft a workable parenting plan that outlines your respective parental responsibilities (custody) and parenting time (visitation) schedules. A child support order will probably need to be discussed as well.

Depending on the circumstances, however, an amicable settlement may not be possible. Concerns regarding domestic violence, orders of protection, parental alienation, or substance abuse could make civil negotiations unrealistic. In such cases, litigation may be your only option. Our attorneys are skilled, aggressive litigators who will advocate for your best interests in court when necessary. We know that a divorce can be difficult, and we will remain at your side every step of the way.
