A spouse might be tempted to comment, “If we could agree on all that, we probably wouldn’t be getting divorced.” That’s why the services of a skilled and experienced uncontested divorce attorney are so important.

Talbott works with you to ensure that you have every opportunity to avoid a trial by reaching a workable and lasting settlement of your divorce issues.

Limited divorce

A limited divorce, also known as a legal separation, can give some of the benefits of divorce to couples who, for whatever reason, are not ready to finalize an absolute divorce. If you are having difficulty resolving your divorce issues with your spouse, a limited divorce can be an intermediate step. In many cases, the legal separation agreement can be the basis for your uncontested divorce settlement agreement later on.
