Bessemer Divorce Lawyer & Divorce Attorneys

Our Bessemer divorce lawyer can file your divorce whether it is uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is simpler and cheaper if you can do it. To do an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse have to be in complete agreement on all issues. If you are not in agreement on all issues, then we can file your contested divorce but to do so you will need a consultation first. At the consultation, our divorce attorney in Bessemer can quote you a retainer to begin your case.

Our expert Bessemer divorce lawyers are currently offering discounted flat fees for uncontested divorces in Birmingham and throughout Central Alabama. There is also a filing fee that the county charges to file a divorce. This fee is different for every county.

If you are not in agreement, then we can file your contested divorce in Bessemer, Alabama. Our experienced divorce attorneys will require a retainer up front to fight for you in your divorce and it is much more expensive than an uncontested divorce. We will file your divorce and argue your case at hearings and, ultimately, at your divorce trial.

If an agreement has not been reached and you wish to get divorced, then you will likely need our Bessemer divorce lawyer to file a contested divorce for you.  This is where one party files for divorce and serves the other party.   A contested divorce continues until both parties either reach an agreement as to all contested issues or have a trial and let the judge in their case decide these issues for them. Our Bessemer divorce lawyer knows the local rules and can help you navigate the Court.

Whether you have an emergency issue requiring a pendente lite hearing or other immediate issues we can help. Our divorce attorneys in Bessemer will meet with you early on and develop a strategy for getting the best result in your case. Whether you have large assets to fight over or if you just want your divorce quickly, our team of family law attorneys can help you get the best result.

From the first meeting with our divorce attorney, the two of you will prepare a strategy to win your case at trial. You will need to prepare as if the case will go to trial, even if you do not think it will. That way you put yourself in a position later on in the litigation to force a better settlement in your favor. In other words, pushing for a trial shows the other party you mean business and they might agree to terms they might otherwise not if they know they’ll have to pay lots of attorney fees and endure a trial to get it.

You want to leverage the case in such a way that the opposing party, your spouse, is forced to settle for something close to what you want and would rather do that than face a trial. Being aggressive from the beginning of the litigation will almost always put you in a better position to reach a fair settlement for you and your family. Our divorce lawyers in Bessemer will fight for you from the very start to ensure we get the results you deserve at trial or by pushing for a settlement.
