General questions
A useful place to begin.
These answers are general information, not legal advice for a specific situation.
Does every divorce have to go to trial?
No. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, the case may require a judge to decide disputed issues.
Can existing custody or support orders be changed?
Some orders may be modified when the legal requirements are met. Sheri can review the order, the history of the case and the change in circumstances.
Do you handle military divorce?
Yes. Military divorces can involve distinct benefits, retirement and procedural issues that should be identified early.
