A divorce proceeding can be simple if both spouses are in agreement on all issues. If they are not in agreement, however, the proceeding can be lengthy and litigious. Courts have basically two considerations: to protect children, and to arrive at equitable settlements based upon the contributions of each party. Don’t assume that your outcome will be the same as a friend with a similar situation. The state provides some guidelines, but your result depends to a great extent on the skill of your lawyer, and upon which judge hears your case.
