Virginia Beach, Virginia Lawyer Handling Uncontested Divorce
Not everyone needs to go through an acrimonious courtroom battle to get a divorce. If you and your spouse can work cooperatively together and agree on many of the family and legal issues ¾ child custody, visitation, child support, alimony and property division ¾ you can get your divorce without a trial.
Working with an attorney, you can negotiate any areas where you do not agree and work out a settlement agreement. Your lawyer can then present the agreement to the court who can issue you a divorce decree. This process is less contentious than litigation, and it often saves the couple time and money.
In some cases, the uncontested divorce process can take as little as two weeks to complete.

Consult an Attorney Before You Draft an Agreement
Divorce decrees are court orders regarding a variety of important issues, many of which can be complex. Typically, a divorce decree will cover child custody and visitation arrangements, the division of marital assets and debts, and any alimony that may be appropriate.
If you plan to present an agreement to the family law judge instead of asking for a ruling, you will need to think beyond the surface and address the issues in detail. Many of these family law issues have long-term implications that you may not see and are expensive and difficult to change. For this reason, it is important to consult with a lawyer to help ensure your agreement is done right the first time.
Attorney Lawrence D. Burroughs II helps clients identify the issues involved their divorces and assists them in finalizing the divorce agreement. He will make sure the agreement and decree are approved by the court so there are no underlying issues that can haunt you later.
