Family Law Attorneys in Denton for Divorce

April 8, 2016 By Megan Rachel

Divorce cases are common today. However, should you be involved in one, you will quickly realize how complicated the case can be. When filing for a divorce, you need the advice and representation of a family law attorney Denton firm. The firm should get you a lawyer experienced with the particular rules and statuses at play in Denton.

What is a Divorce?

Most people think that separation and divorce mean the same thing. However, this is not the case. A divorce refers to a legal dissolution of marriage. In Denton, a divorce has to be effected through a legal proceeding or in a court. A divorce may be contested or uncontested. If a divorce is contested, this means both parties cannot agree on at least one issue. On the other hand, an uncontested divorce means the parties are comfortable with all the terms.

In some states, parties can also file for a legal separation. A separation only revokes their right of cohabitation. However, the marriage itself still stands.

Filing for Divorce in Denton

You should hire an experienced family law attorney to petition for divorce and file it in Denton. The attorney will know the requirements you are supposed to meet before filing a divorce. You must have a reason for filing a divorce. The reason can be generally classified as fault or no-fault.

  1. i) Fault divorce

In a fault divorce, there must be particular wrongdoing by one of the partners. These wrongdoings must be proved in court for the divorce to be granted. Common wrongdoings include abuse, cruel treatment, extended imprisonment and adultery.

  1. ii) No fault divorce

In no fault divorce cases, neither of the partners is required to prove the other engaged in wrongdoing. Here, a divorce can be granted merely on the fact that the partners have irreconcilable differences or the marriage is irretrievably broken.

You should contact an experienced family law attorney Denton firm like The Rachel Firm to help you with a divorce case.
