Divorce
Professional guidance in difficult circumstances
During divorce there is much to consider. We help you understand your rights and choose the right path through the process.
Legal Separation
Legal separation is a precursor to divorce and means the spouses no longer live together. This is often the first step in the divorce process.
After 6 months of legal separation, you may apply for divorce.
Direct Divorce
Direct divorce is possible when both parties agree on the divorce and all related matters such as child custody, visitation, and asset division.
This is a faster route but still goes through a formal process with the District Commissioner.
- Both parties agree on the divorce
- Agreement on child custody and visitation
- Agreement on asset division
- Documents signed at the District Commissioner
