Providing Equitable Service for Clients Considering Contested Divorce

Preparing Clients for Contested Divorce Proceedings
If the divorce must go to court, Mr. Warlick will effectively prepare you for what to expect before, during and after the proceedings.
Before the trial, there is a discovery process. This means that he is analyzing everything that you share as a couple in order to advocate for a fair distribution of marital assets and prepare arguments for child custody.
During discovery, he will review facts about:
- Child Care (education, quality of life, health care)
- Properties (residences, vacation homes, rentals, real estate)
- Accounts (checking, savings, certificates of deposit)
- Insurance beneficiaries (primary, contingent)
- Investments (retirement funds, mutual funds, stocks, bonds)
- Tangible possessions (home furnishings, electronics)
- Vehicles (cars, boats, recreational vehicles)
- Taxes (claiming dependents, refunds, debts)
- Closely held businesses (structure, profit and loss)
- Pets (care and emotional attachment)
During the trial, Mr. Warlick will represent your position about any item shared in a marriage. After the trial, he will make sure you understand what actions are necessary to finalize the divorce. Throughout the entire process, he will take his time and work with you to provide the smoothest transition possible so you can have peace of mind and go forward with your life.
