Uncontested Divorces:
The above-described procedures outline the general steps utilized in a contested divorce proceeding. If in fact you feel this matter is able to be settled from the very beginning, our offices encourage sending out a settlement letter along with the initial pleadings. This provides the other spouse with the opportunity of addressing the issues in a constructive approach aimed at expeditious settlement. This has the obvious advantage of savings attorney's fees, costs and emotional distress to both parties.
Accordingly, with the initial pleadings, we encourage sending out a settlement letter so that the expense of Steps Two, Three and Four can be avoided. This is more specifically set forth in the diagram attached as Exhibit "B" hereto. However, if you feel you have inadequate information with which to make an offer of settlement, it is wise to wait until after the discovery procedure before offering a settlement proposal.
