Contested and Uncontested Divorce

Working for a Successful Resolution in Contested and Uncontested Divorce

While we often think of divorce as a time of great conflict, that is not always the case. Often by the time a couple takes action to get divorced, they have jointly decided that their marriage is not working and that divorce is the best option.

It's common to feel sadness or anger, but it is equally common to feel relief and even hope for the future. At Giunta & House, P.A., we work toward lasting solutions for your family. Our goal is to protect your rights, your children, and your future as you go through the process of divorce.

To schedule an initial consultation, call 954.928.0100, or contact Giunta & House, P.A., online. We are committed to providing effective legal advocacy to resolve the issues of divorce, including property division, child custody and support.

Fort Lauderdale divorce attorney Stuart House looks "outside the box" for innovative approaches to resolving family law disputes. While trial court representation is an area of strength, he also offers collaborative divorce services. Collaborative divorce is an alternative dispute forum that allows the parties to arrive at a marital settlement agreement without resorting to court.

Legal solutions to meet the unique needs of your family

Some couples come to a divorce attorney having already decided the major issues of property division and parenting time. Even in an uncontested divorce, though, it's wise to work with an attorney to ensure you understand the many details that define your marital settlement agreement.

  • The division of some assets will have tax implications? Have those been considered?
  • Have all marital assets been identified and properly valued?

Mr. House has helped many families with amicable, uncontested divorces, including families with significant marital assets. When necessary, he brings financial experts to the table to help couples understand complex financial assets so they can arrive at a fair distribution.

When you cannot reach agreement — contested divorce

For some couples, arriving at a marital settlement agreement that both parties can agree upon is impossible, even if the decision to divorce was mutual. Whether emotional issues or addiction problems stand in the way, or one party is hiding assets as a way to get back at the other spouse, finding a resolution is difficult.

In such circumstances, you will need a divorce attorney to represent your interests in Florida divorce court. Trial court representation is one of the premiere services of our firm. Mr. House is a forceful and experienced advocate for clients in contested divorce cases involving complex marital assets, disputes over child custody, and requests for alimony.
