Going through a divorce is very stressful & emotionally taxing. It often takes longer than people think or want, so we are commonly asked how to speed the process along. There are many considerations to be made when trying to settle a divorce & your attorney will help guide you through what you might be willing to compromise on & what is a “deal-breaker” for you.


The thing that most often slows down divorce cases is the parties’ unwillingness to compromise on specific terms. Divorce settlements will include decisions about custody, finances, property distribution, debt allocation, etc. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to get everything you want, so you should think through what’s most important to you. Perhaps that’s retaining possession of the family home. Maybe it’s ensuring you get at least 50% custody of any children involved. Or maybe you are concerned about financial issues like spousal support and child support. Determining your most important issue could save you a lot of time and money. Your attorney can help you with this process, but in the end, the decisions rest on you.


If you’re thinking of filing for divorce or have been served with divorce papers, reach out to Daniel Finder at Finder Law. He knows how challenging this process can be, but he has the experience to walk you through this process effectively and compassionately. You’ll receive personalized legal advice from someone who will aggressively fight for you.
