Divorce
Maybe. Both parties must be willing to sign a waiver, and at the time the divorce becomes finalized, the parties must have been separated for at least six months. Since most divorces take at least several months from start to finish, it is possible to file when a couple separates.

The more contested the case, the more expensive the litigation. As in purchasing a new car, there is a wide variety of selection of cars ranging from very inexpensive, one which merely gets you from place to place, to luxurious and extremely costly. Divorce attorneys, however, do not offer five-year financing. Watson Law does have convenient methods of payment and will keep you informed of each step throughout the process.
In addition, Watson Law believes in making every effort to mitigate unnecessary expenses throughout the divorce process. We will do everything we can to keep your costs as low as possible.
Watson Law will not represent both parties in a divorce action since it is impossible to advise what is in each person’s best interest without disadvantaging the opposing spouse. To put it another way, it is only possible to fully protect one party’s interests. Domestic cases are extremely uncertain and the position of parties can change rapidly.
Family Law
