DIVORCE (UNCONTESTED & CONTESTED)
St. Augustine Divorce Attorneys
Divorce is the legal process by which a marriage ends. In a divorce proceeding, the parties’ marriage is legally dissolved and any related issues, such as parenting plans (child custody), time sharing (visitation), child support, spousal support, and property and debt division, are resolved. This resolution can occur through the parties’ voluntary agreement, formal mediation, or by order of the court after a trial.
Attorney Ryan Albaugh was raised in a divorced family himself. He knows firsthand the impact a divorce has on everyone involved. He will work tirelessly to protect your rights and shelter your children from any inappropriate behavior by your spouse.
An uncontested divorce is one where you and your spouse are in general agreement about the terms and no formal mediation or litigation is necessary. The benefits of an uncontested divorce are that they are much less expensive and are finalized much more quickly than a contested divorce. However, these benefits can be lost by people who try and “do-it-themselves” by purchasing forms from the clerk and submitting what they believe the Judge needs to see. All too often these people become frustrated and confused about why their paperwork was returned or denied.
At the Albaugh Law Firm in St. Augustine Florida, we can help you and your spouse get through the system as economically and efficiently as possible. We can draft your documents, file them with the court, and follow-up with the judge to ensure that they are being processed. This also ensures that every aspect of your marriage is settled in the divorce and nothing is inadvertently left unaddressed. The cost of hiring a single attorney to assist you and your spouse with your uncontested divorce is considerably less than in a contested case.

A contested divorce is one where you and your spouse disagree about one or more specific aspects of the settlement or you simply are not in a position to have a reasonable conversation about what your respective positions are. Due to the importance of these issues and the potential negative results you may face, it is imperative that you hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
