A divorce action can begin in two different ways, one formal, through the court, the other less
formal, through negotiation. The Law Offices of Bruce E. Bergman can guide you through the
process if formal pleadings are necessary, but we are also experienced in resolving divorces
through negotiation and settlement. If you and your spouse are amenable to an uncontested
divorce, our Attorneys can draft a letter on your behalf to your spouse, informing him or her
about your rights and interests. Our Attorneys are also adept at acting on your behalf if formal
litigation becomes necessary.
Next Steps
An important step in divorce proceedings is the preliminary conference. This allows the parties
to identify the issues they can resolve themselves and those that may need to be tried or for
which discovery is necessary. If there are issues on which the parties agree, interim orders
may be issued at this time.
In addition to narrowing the issues, the preliminary conference is also important in establishing
a timetable for discovery and, if necessary, trial. Financial statements and other products of
the discovery process will typically have to be exchanged to resolve the issues, and our
Attorneys are known for their thorough discovery. We work with financial experts such as
forensic accountants and other witnesses to determine what assets exist and/or their value.
This is important for dividing the marital property, determining the separate property, and
calculating alimony (maintenance) and child support.
Making the decision to end a marriage is difficult. As challenging as it sounds, it is in your
best interest to approach the divorce process from a rational, businesslike perspective.
Working with the Law Offices of Bruce E. Bergman will help you get through the process
successfully and begin your new life.
