Understanding When to Consider Divorce Litigation

Divorce litigation is when a couple submits their divorce issues to court to be decided by a judge. It most often occurs when a couple cannot resolve their divorce by other means. We know that the prospect of litigating your divorce in court is overwhelming. Going before a judge can be incredibly stressful, but there are many cases in which it is not only the best option but may help resolve your divorce more quickly. In very contentious divorces, things can drag out. Litigation may be the only way these couples can resolve their disputes once and for all.

Divorce litigation may be your best option in cases where:

  • You and your spouse struggle to agree on several aspects of your divorce
  • One party is being unreasonable or is unwilling to explore other dispute resolution methods like mediation
  • You and your spouse are unable to communicate or work together amicably during the divorce process
  • You and your spouse have tried other means of dispute resolution and have been unsuccessful
  • There have been instances of domestic violence or abuse

Divorce litigation can be a difficult process, both emotionally and practically. If you are facing litigation in divorce court, you should secure legal representation from an attorney experienced in divorce litigation, like ours at SANTO MEHAS, A Professional Law Corporation.

  • “Donna Santo is a very professional lawyer”

    Donna Santo is a very professional lawyer, along with a very professional staff. I was searching for a lawyer familiar with military law, and Donna was the top of the search!! I needed a divorce attorney, and she has amazing military knowledge. She kept me up to date on everything and if I did not understand something she was very patient and explained in detail, until I completely understood the situation. When it came down to spousal support, a lump sum was not satisfactory, and Donna "fought" for me until I was awarded a lump sum and full monthly spousal support (we did not have children) and now I am able to live comfortably without worrying if I am going to make ends meet. If you need a professional lawyer, whether or not you need military law, consider Donna Santo, you will definitely NOT be disappointed!!

  • “5 stars is not enough.”
    5 stars is not enough. Mr. Mehas and Ms. Santo are the A team of attorneys. They are comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead, and a powerful team! When you hire the Santo Mehas firm to manage your case, you have hired a team of legal advocates who care, who will keep you informed, who will fight for you, and be the voice you need to represent you. Without the help of the entire firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. They took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. They worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. They stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though there were challenges, they strategically and diligently with compassion met them head on and never faltered. Their expertise and thoroughness provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

  • “Donna obtained a good result for me, for which I am ever grateful.”

    I met Donna Santo over 20 years ago, when I needed an attorney to represent me in a post-judgment custody dispute trailing across three states due to my nomadic military background. As prior military I had a great respect for the courts. I met Donna first, and she scared me. But of course that was what I wanted: a sharp, assertive attorney. The onset of that custodial dispute marks one of the most horrible periods of my life. Fortunately, Donna and her team were my guides as well as my advocates. To this day, when on occasion I have needed a family law attorney, I have called Donna. She has always obtained a good result for me.
