Settlement or Trial - Dallas TX
When it comes down to divorce proceedings you have the standard procedures such as filing the divorce petition, discovery of evidence, child support and child custody. But when everything is filed and all of the paperwork is collected, you have a choice. You can either go to a settlement or though a divorce trial. The best for both parties is of course a settlement but as everyone knows in a divorce that is not always possible.
A settlement happens when there is a prenuptial agreement in place, this document will have who gets what and they only thing left to settle is child support and custody matters. A settlement is also in everyone's best interest since husband and wife get to work out together who gets the house, the car, what portion of the bank account goes to who, who gets the kids and what amount of child support will be paid. This is a win win for everyone. Divorce is hard on everyone, why make it harder by taking it to trial.
If a settlement cannot be reached and there is no prenuptial agreement then most likely the divorce will go to trial. In a divorce trial, both the husband and wife will get called to the stand and the judge will hear what each person has to say and in the end he will make the final decision of who gets the house, the car , how much of the bank accounts each person gets. He will decide child custody and how much child support gets paid. In the end it may turn out more in one person's favor.
Dallas Divorces will work hard to help you reach a settlement, who wants to go through the emotional drama a divorce can create. Especially if you have children, why put them through the emotions of a trial. We will work hard to get you what is fair but in the end, both parties have to agree or a judge will decide and that is not always in everyone's best interest.
