Many people falsely presume they will have to battle it out in Court in a San Diego divorce in order to resolve areas where the parties are not in agreement. This is not always the case and a lot of these presumptions are based upon portrayals of celebrity cases in the media and in TV shows and movies.
Divorce is a complex, intimidating process for many people. There are a broad range of emotions to manage and issues to resolve. There is an important fact about a San Diego divorce which all parties should keep in mind: The cost of a divorce and the time required to complete it are intricately tied to the level of disagreement between the parties and their ability to work through challenges to reach an agreement or settlement. If you can’t resolve an issue through negotiation or mediation many clients are concerned they may have to battle it out in Court in their case.
