Dissolution of Marriage and Legal Separations are started by a legal process known as filing a Summons and Petition.
 
However, the decision to begin the divorce process is the most important and can only be decided by one person: You.  Once you have made this decision, you need to have someone who is in your corner and can provide you with the thoughtful, decisive legal representation you deserve. 
 
The best thing that you can do is to find an attorney that suits your needs and understands the issues you face.  I firmly believe that cases can and should be settled on reasonable terms to both parties.  Unfortunately, there are times when one or both parties are so emotionally charged that settlement is impossible.  This is when you must have an experienced attorney that is ready to litigate any type of case.  The Law Offices of Travis Whitfield has been helping clients do this for years.
