Navigating a Divorce

The hope is always that agreements can be made and matters negotiated and settled outside of court. If both parties agree on all of the details relating to the end of their marriage, an agreement is prepared and filed with the court, and there is no court appearance required.

However, if matters are not easily resolved outside of court, temporary orders are then needed to address child or spousal support and child custody. A court hearing will be held – and if that doesn’t work, a trial before a judge is held. Attorney Fisher tries to avoid this where possible and always does everything she can to make the process as stress-free for your family as possible.
