Divorce and Separations

Divorces and Legal Separations come in many varieties. They can be short & simple with no contested issues, or long and complicated custody and financial battles.

Separating from a spouse is one of the most difficult things a person experiences. The decisions made during this time will have a lasting impact on the lives of all involved. Whether it is a case of an uncontested separation with no children or assets, or a contentious division of children, assets, and debts, Lion Legal is here to ensure you are not disadvantaged by your spouse.

We help you reach closure and obtain a fair, long-lasting result.

Uncontested Divorce and Separation

Everyone wants an uncontested divorce, but not many actually have an uncontested divorce.

An uncontested divorce or separation is when the parties have already discussed the divorce and have come up with a plan together – you’re in agreement on who gets what, what visitation, custody, and child support look like, who is paying what debts, taking what property, getting the house, etc. All issues are agreed upon, and you only need guidance to finalize.

Standard Divorce and Separation

There are many variables, and some divorces are very costly. The national average for a divorce that can be settled without going to trial is $12,900.
