Regular Divorce
The regular dissolution process begins with a petition for dissolution of marriage, filed with the circuit court by the husband or wife, which states that the marriage is irretrievably broken and sets out what the person wants from the court. The other partner must file an answer within 20 days, addressing the matters within the initial petition and raising any additional issues the answering party desires the court to address.
The DeWitt Law Firm represents clients in all issues involved in regular dissolutions of marriage, such as property settlements, child support, alimony, parenting plans, visitation, and custody / timesharing. We help our clients try to resolve disputes without protracted litigation, but if this is not possible, we are known as being very aggressive in the courtroom.
Many divorce cases can be settled in mediation. Mediation is a procedure used during the regular dissolution process to help you and your spouse arrive at a settlement without having a trial. Its purpose is not to save a marriage, but to help divorcing couples reach a solution to their problems and arrive at agreeable terms for handling their dissolution. The DeWitt Law firm routinely handles mediations for its clients. In addition, Sherri DeWitt is a certified mediator.
