Not all divorces are fraught with conflict. Sometimes, spouses are on good terms but realize they would be better off not married. If this describes your situation, you may be asking: Do you need a lawyer to get divorced? At Barber Law Group in Reno, NV, we have helped many clients ensure that their amicable divorce is as simple and stress-free as possible.
Technically, you don’t need a lawyer to get divorced, but even the Nevada court system recommends consulting a divorce attorney before initiating a divorce. Divorce isn’t just about filing paperwork; even in amicable cases, decisions must be made about the division of marital property, spousal support, child custody, and child support.
In Nevada, the divorce process is streamlined for uncontested cases, allowing couples to finalize their divorce more quickly and with less expense than a contested divorce.
How Barber Law Group Can Help in an Amicable Divorce
Ensuring Fairness
Even in amicable divorces, it’s essential to ensure that the agreement is fair and equitable. We can review the terms to ensure you’re not unknowingly giving up important rights, particularly regarding the division of assets or spousal support. This is critical because the court will review your proposed divorce agreement to ensure it is fair.
Dividing Assets
If you and your spouse have complex assets, such as retirement accounts, investments, or real estate, dividing them properly can be challenging. We can draft a property settlement agreement that accurately reflects your intentions and adheres to Nevada law.
Drafting Child Custody Agreements
For couples with children, child custody and support are some of the most critical aspects of a divorce agreement. Even if you and your spouse agree on the arrangements, we can help ensure the agreement is in the children’s best interests and meets Nevada’s court requirements.
Avoiding Future Disputes
An amicable relationship today doesn’t guarantee that issues won’t arise in the future. A well-drafted divorce agreement, created with the help of a lawyer, can minimize the risk of future disputes by clearly outlining each party’s rights and responsibilities.
Ensuring Correct Procedure in Reno, NV
Divorce involves extensive paperwork and precise legal procedures. Errors in documents or filing can result in a denied divorce. We can help ensure that all documents are filed correctly and deadlines are met, so you don’t have to worry about procedural mistakes.
