When Do You Need a Divorce and Family Law Attorney

When do you need a divorce and family law attorney?  Our Louisville divorce and family law attorneys have extensive experience, completed extra education and received the recommendations of fellow family law attorneys as well as many former clients.  Dodd & Dodd Attorneys, PLLC is one of the oldest and most established law practices in all of Kentucky.

The time you need a divorce and family law attorney the most in a divorce case is weeks before you intend to file.  Our attorneys will help you to understand and carefully plan each step.  Our proven strategies help to ensure you achieve your goals and objectives while managing the process, time and expense of your divorce or family law matter.

If you have no children, assets of less than $35,000 and have been married for a relatively short period of time it may be possible to complete the divorce process with only a simple review of your paperwork.  However, if your divorce involves children, substantial assets, a business or professional practice or anticipated maintenance you need a proven divorce and family law attorney from Dodd & Dodd to protect your interests at every step.

Child custody and parenting time is a serious concern for most who file for divorce in Louisville.  The accurate valuation of a business or other assets is a crucial issue during property division.  If you are concerned about maintenance there are literally dozens of factors which the Court must consider when determining the need for, duration and amount of maintenance.

Retirement accounts, a State retirement plan such as KTRS or a pension is another example of why you need an experienced divorce and family law attorney from Dodd & Dodd.  These issues require a complex legal document known as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or QDRO.  If the QDRO is not properly and carefully crafted, the plan will not accept it.  Improper documents or the failure to properly manage the issues of retirement accounts and plans in a divorce can result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We invite you to review the strong recommendations of our former clients and contact us or call 502-584-1108 to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced divorce and family law attorneys.
