Do I actually need to get an attorney if I am getting a divorce?

Usually it is smart to consult a lawyer when dealing with big life changes such as divorce. This will help protect your rights as well as the rights of any children you may have. It will also help decide terms with child custody, family support, marital property, and visitation.

What is joint custody? Is it possible to receive joint custody?

Joint legal custody refers to any major decisions affecting the children. Examples would be schools that the children attend, religious activities, and extracurricular activities. However, joint physical custody refers to the amount of time spent with each parent. Usually this will be split as evenly as possible, depending on the circumstances of the situation.

How long will the divorce process take?

Each case is different, so there is no set time that a family law case takes. Your attorney will be able to discuss with you exactly how long the process will take depending on the circumstances of your case.
