Settlement: Understanding the Terms

PDF Print

It’s extremely difficult, and sometimes impossible, to change a divorce settlement. So take your time, because you will have to live with the settlement for years to come.

The divorce settlement details the agreed-upon terms for child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support (if any), and disposition of property.

Reaching a divorce settlement takes time because there are many factors to consider and vital details to handle. Taking proper time during the information-gathering and negotiation stages allows for a give-and-take process that results in better solutions.

We work with our clients to handle the details in the most efficient way possible while making sure all parties feel the process has been thorough and complete. We also take time to explain the settlement to make sure our clients completely understand the terms before they give their final approval.
