Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to go to court for a divorce?

Not always. Many divorces can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, saving time and cost while maintaining privacy.

How is child custody decided?

Custody decisions are based on the child’s best interests — considering factors such as stability, parental involvement, and emotional well-being.

Can I modify custody or support orders later?

Yes. Significant changes in income, residence, or family circumstances may justify modifying previous orders.

How long does the divorce process take?

It depends on whether the case is contested. Uncontested divorces may take a few months, while contested cases can take longer.
