Bridgeport Divorce Attorneys Work With Families to Make Divorce Process Easier
Divorce is a difficult, often heart-breaking, experience. There are emotional and financial matters to decide about, management of the separation of assets, not to mention determining the custody of children. Divorce can bring freedom and heartache, and much depends upon the legal counsel you choose to represent you during this time of your life. By contacting Mark Kratter of the Law Offices of Mark M. Kratter, LLC, serving Bridgeport, CT, you can rest easy knowing that your family and the end of your marriage are in the right hands.
Divorce, or “the dissolution of marriage” as it is referred to in the state of Connecticut, is a term that describes the legal end of two spouses’ marriage. The court doesn’t merely dissolve the marriage, but it will also divide property, make orders regarding child custody and visitation, and determine whether there should be child and spousal support and determine the amount. Connecticut is a state which dissolves marriages on a no-fault basis, so either party may seek divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
The Connecticut Divorce and Family Lawyers at the Law Offices of Mark M. Kratter, LLC have helped countless people dissolve their marriages by assisting them with the following:
- Filing for dissolution of marriage
- Filing for Separation
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Spousal support or alimony
- Grandparent’s rights
- Property division
- Settlement agreements
- Paternity
We always hope that all agreements can be made and matters negotiated and settled amicably outside of court. If this happens and both parties can agree on the details relating to the end of their marriage, an agreement is prepared and filed with the court, and there is no court appearance necessary for the two parties. However, if matters are not easily resolved outside of court, temporary orders are then required to address child or spousal support, and child custody, and a court hearing will be held. This is the difference between an uncontested, and contested, divorce. If then these issues cannot be negotiated in a courtroom setting, the matter will be set for a trial before a judge. At Mark M. Kratter, we do our utmost to try and resolve issues in a manner that is stress-free. Our goal is always to meet the needs of our clients.
