Divorce Service From A Local Team
It’s safe to say that divorce was not a part of your long-term plans. In almost every instance of people coming to the divorce proceedings, people on both sides see this as unexpected in many ways. It’s a trying time, and you want divorce lawyers who you know you can trust.
At The Sanders Firm PLLC, we are family law attorneys who emphasize building trust with clients. As divorce lawyers serving people in Conway, we go out of our way to prove that we’re interested in their struggles, personal and professional. We care, and we want to put you at ease in any way we can. Our team was born and raised in Conway and thinks of our clients as neighbors in need of help.
How We Help You During A Divorce
Divorce is the area of family law that we see the most, and we’ve developed an extensive set of skills that complement our clients’ needs. From the beginning to the end of your divorce case, we’ll be ready to address any issue ahead, including:
- Grounds: In Arkansas, while no-fault divorce is an option, there are separation requirements that must be met before proceeding. Call us and let’s explore your other options to make the process as simple as possible.
- Child custody: Every parent wants as much time with their children as possible. In Arkansas, there is a presumption that joint custody is in the best interest of the child. Certain factors can be used to rebut that presumption in cases where joint custody is not appropriate.
- Child support: Arkansas has a particular equation that determines the amount of child support parents may pay. This equation is not up for debate, but what factors into it can be.
- Alimony: Continual financial support of an ex-spouse is a sensitive issue, but the courts can order this in many circumstances. Your legal team must be ready to respond to these possible situations.
- Property division: Arkansas law explicitly requires a 50/50 split unless that split is seen as “inequitable.” In practice, this means that the court takes a holistic view of each marital estate to determine how the assets are distributed.
The major aspects of divorce are all highly stressful. We care about how your divorce impacts your life, not just the major upheavals, but the small hiccups that make your day-to-day life that much more difficult.
Professional Legal Support Through Tough Decisions
Most clients come to us seeking an uncontested divorce because these types of divorces are much easier. However, they require full agreement on both sides on every aspect of the divorce, which can be difficult to achieve.
We have many ways to pursue that, in alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or in classical negotiation. However, even with the best intentions, agreements are not always possible without litigation, which is where our work with contested divorces comes in, as well as our intimate familiarity with Arkansas divorce laws.
