Working with a Fort Myers Divorce Lawyer

How Our Firm Can Help

You are not required by law to hire a lawyer in order to file for divorce in Fort Myers, Florida. There are, however, particular advantages that you can benefit from if you retain legal representation early in the divorce process—particularly before your divorce papers are filed. Divorce can either be relatively straightforward or extremely complex, depending on the specific issues that the married couple is dealing with.

When children are involved, the process is typically more complicated due to the need to work out arrangements regarding:

These are highly sensitive matters that many spouses disagree upon. Property division and spousal support (or alimony) are also matters that will directly impact each spouse's financial situation. These issues are even more difficult in high net worth divorce cases.

Even if you and your spouse initially approached your divorce in an amicable manner, a dispute regarding any one or more of the issues can easily turn things around. These types of matters have the potential to turn a simple divorce into a drawn-out, costly and emotionally-draining legal battle.

Legal Help Through Any Type of Divorce

There are various ways in which a divorce attorney can provide assistance. There are collaborative divorces—through which the divorcing parties and their attorneys agree to resolve their matters without the use of litigation—and then there is divorce that requires litigation (or the filing of a lawsuit). A divorce lawyer can also help individuals who are going through divorce mediation, or a process in which the parties are given a certain amount of time to resolve lingering issues with the help of an objective third party (the mediator).

At Calvo & Calvo, Attorneys at Law, our Fort Myers divorce attorneys can help you sort through various divorce-related issues in the most efficient way so that you don't have to spend more time working through the process than is necessary. Our goal is to help you protect your rights and the best interests of you and your family through this difficult time.
