At Vrsecky Law Firm, we know that going through a divorce is an emotional experience for everyone involved. It affects every aspect of your life. It deals with the personal relationship between you and your spouse. It will most likely result in a large financial change for both of you and possibly a child custody battle. If you have children, the problems and emotions are multiplied. We understand this and work with you to minimize the negative effects and disruptions to your life and the lives of your family.  If you need a divorce lawyer or child custody lawyer, call us today.

At your very first meeting, our divorce attorney will take the time to learn the specifics of your current situation, explain the law in a way you can understand and help you move forward. At the conclusion of this first meeting you will feel better about your situation because you will be more informed and have a strategy for moving ahead. 
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE FILING FOR DIVORCE
• Everything is Fair Game: Both assets and liabilities, even ones only in your own name, are divisible during a settlement.

• Expect a Financial Restraining Order: The law automatically prohibits large purchases or asset liquidation during divorce proceedings. If you are in need of a new car, buy it before filing.

• Be Aware of Tax Implications: Money that is transferred in a divorce but not specifically as "alimony" is not considered taxable income. On the other hand, certain asset transfers may leave you liable for hidden capital gains taxes.

• Remember Your Beneficiary Designations: Do any paperwork necessary to remove your spouse as a beneficiary.

• Properly Estimate Living Expenses: Track what you and your spouse earn, and where that money goes. Keep receipts so you know what things actually cost, and factor in inflation. Everyday expenses are often neglected.
The divorce attorneys at Vrsecky Law Firm will help you look at your situation from different perspectives so that all possible resolutions can be explored. Our team will go over your goals with you and help you set new ones. Our years of experience have taught us that every situation is different and that one answer does not work for every family. The important thing is to find the resolution that works best for your family.

We will try to resolve your case amicably with your spouse or your spouse’s lawyer. Resolving the issues without litigation is faster, less expensive and less emotionally disruptive for everyone. It also lets you and your spouse craft the best solution for your family.

If you and your spouse can't agree to resolve the issues, a divorce attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf and fight for your rights in court. We will map out a litigation plan with you and remain by your side every step of the way. You can count on our divorce lawyers to bring their experience and passion to every facet of your case.

TOP CAUSES FOR DIVORCE
Unfortunately, the percentage of marriages that end in divorce is always growing. Marriage is rarely easy and even couples with the best intentions sometimes end up in courtrooms. Sometimes things are out of your control and simply too far gone to save. Here are the top 10 reasons that marriages do not work out in the long-term according to Marriage.com:
  • Infidelity: it is very difficult for a relationship to survive an extra-marital affair, understandably 
  • Money: spending habits, financial goals, or imbalanced income earning can all cause a rift between partners
  • Lack of Communication: healthy communication is essential and the lack of it can lead to frustration
  • Constant Arguing: bickering, nagging, or the same repeated yelling matches make people feel unheard and unappreciated
  • Weight Gain: what may seem superficial is often a real cause for decreased attraction between partners and lowers self-esteem
  • Unrealistic Expectations: realizing that marriage is hard work and that no one is perfect is essential for a successful marriage
  • Lack of Intimacy: physical connection is important for making a couple feel bonded, but often fades during marriage
  • Lack of Equality: imbalanced responsibility or decision-making power creates feelings of resentment
  • Not Prepared for Marriage: some  couples get married too young without having yet developed necessary life skills
  • Abuse: no one should tolerate physical or emotional abuse, but sadly it exists within many relationships
Whatever has led you to seeking out the services of a divorce attorney, the team Vrsecky Law Firm is here for you.

REASONS TO HIRE A DIVORCE LAWYER

Going through a divorce is tough, but becomes even tougher without the assistance of proper legal counsel. A divorce lawyer will help you through the process in more ways than one. Here are some of the top reasons to approach your divorce professionally by hiring a divorce lawyer:
  • To Help You Understand: If you have already filed for divorce, then you have an idea of the amount of paperwork that's involved. A divorce lawyer will walk you through the fine print of any paperwork and make sure you are aware of how the law could help or harm you.
  • To Speed Up The Process: Some divorces last for ages, getting bogged down in tiny details and held up over a simple technicality. A divorce attorney will have the experience to recognize the specific tools and resources your divorce requires at any given time to move forward and reach a settlement.
  • To Make Decisions: During your divorce, you and your spouse will have to divide up your assets and other finances. For some couples, fighting over a couch just isn't worth it. However, this is often not the case, and the task becomes very challenging. A divorce lawyer will work with you to figure out what's most important to you. That way, you can more easily establish the things you don't mind letting go of versus the things you won't budge on.
  • To Ensure Fairness: If you are worried that your spouse will try to cheat you out of money, a divorce lawyer's knowledge of state laws regarding marital property dissolution will ensure that you receive what you're owed and that both sides settle equally and fairly.
  • To Make Things Less Emotional: A divorce should be treated like the legal process that it is, and not like a lover's quarrel around the kitchen table. Working with a divorce lawyer provides a professional setting for discussion to take place and removes opportunities for personal resentments to get in the way.
If you are concerned that your spouse may respond negatively to your hiring of a divorce lawyer, viewing it as an act of aggression for example, express to them that it would be in their best interest to do the same. Getting lawyers involved does not mean that the negotiations and proceedings cannot go amicably. In fact, the opposite is true, as the attorneys will be able to mediate.
