Separation & Divorce

Virginia Beach Divorce Lawyer

​

Many couples, when they have decided that their marriage relationship is over, reach an agreement regarding all issues of property, debts, support and the children. In their case an uncontested divorce is possible.  

However, when couples are in disagreement on some or all of the major important  aspects that will affect their present and future lives such as:
 

1. Property – Either acquired before, during the marriage and after separation. This includes any retirement and pension plans including military retirement.

2. Debts – Belonging to one of the parties or jointly, either acquired before, during the marriage and after separation

3. Children –   Support, visitation and custody (legal and/or physical)

4. Spousal support (alimony) – Either temporary or long term.

We will try to negotiate  with your spouse or your spouse’s attorney, to reach the best acceptable settlement  that will meet your goals. Additionally, we can help you choose alternative divorce methods such as Collaborative Divorce, but if necessary, we will go to trial (litigation) to protect you and your 
future.

We will help you analyze in detail the issues that are important to you, your current financial situation and your future goals. We have helped numerous men and women in achieving acceptable divorce settlements that best meet their goals.

Let us help you, call us for a consultation with a divorce lawyer at (757) 271-3279 or send us an email and Page Kistler will write you back.

What happens when the parties cannot reach an agreement at all on any or all the issues?

When the parties simply cannot reach an agreement then litigation might be necessary.  Litigation is a process where the parties ask a Judge to decide one or all aspects of the divorce such as child custody, child support and division of property that the parties cannot resolve. Litigation is a highly adversarial 
process that can last more than one year and can be costly to both parties.  The outcome on this type of divorce procedures is contingent on legal rules and particular facts of the case.  We have represented numerous clients through litigation, achieving court rulings that help them transition to their new future.
