Key Challenges in Contested Divorce Proceedings

Understanding the Stakes of a Contested Divorce

Filing for divorce may prove stressful and uncomfortable for the entire family. Understanding what you are up against before you file is the first step to getting through a lengthy and difficult divorce proceeding. It is important to understand that a contested divorce occurs when both spouses either disagree on the need for a divorce or are unable to come to an agreement on one or more terms of their divorce. If they cannot come to an agreement, their case will likely end up in court, where a judge will have to make the final decision on important terms of their divorce, which may be costly and time-consuming.

    I can't express enough on how thankful I am to have found Atty Sturdivant and his Legal Assistant, Sarena. They helped me tremendously get through a process that I never thought I could have overcome - a divorce. They made this a very smooth and painless process. As a result, I am relieved. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

  • “Did a great job of being a friend as well as attorney.”
    I went thru an extremely painful divorce. One I never saw coming, and one I never wanted to happen. Justin was there to guide me and advise me when needed. Always available to see me, or talk on the phone when I had questions. Sad as the situation was, Justin seemed to feel what I was going thru and did a great job of being a friend as well as attorney. His fee was very fair, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with these issues.

  • “I felt like he was straight with me, both good and bad, unlike other lawyers I've met with.”
    Justin Sturdivant met with me personally and took the time to answer my questions. I felt like he was straight with me, both good and bad, unlike other lawyers I've met with. If I have to go forward with my divorce I'll be going with Mr. Sturdivant.

  • “He not only gave me a fair and equitable retainer fee, he got the results I was looking for.”
    I contacted Justin when I was in need of an attorney and he was exactly what I needed. He not only gave me a fair and equitable retainer fee, he got the results I was looking for in less time than I had personally allocated for when I originally encountered the issue. I was not only satisfied but ecstatic, I would use him for all my issues from here on forward, should I have any.
