When Is Family Law Litigation Necessary?
Not every divorce or family law dispute needs to go to court. Many families can resolve disagreements through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law. However, when an agreement cannot be reached, litigation may be necessary to obtain a court decision.
Family law litigation may be appropriate when:
-
One spouse refuses to negotiate or participate in settlement discussions.
-
There are disagreements involving parenting time or parental decision-making responsibilities.
-
A spouse is suspected of concealing assets or failing to provide complete financial information.
-
The parties cannot agree on property division, spousal maintenance, or child support.
-
One parent repeatedly violates an existing court order.
-
Safety concerns or allegations of domestic violence require court intervention.
Litigation does not necessarily mean every issue will be decided at trial. Many cases settle during the court process. However, having an attorney who can prepare your case for hearings and trial is important when negotiations are unsuccessful.
At Larimer Law LLC, attorney Angela Larimer helps clients evaluate whether litigation is appropriate for their circumstances and understand what to expect from the Illinois family court process.
