708 - What if We're NOT Cooperative?If the two of you are not able to talk to each other, and if you're not able to listen to each other, that means you'll have to depend on lawyers and judges to work out the terms of your divorce, which will cost you a lot more money. In the end, it will also hurt more, because if you're like most people who go through adversarial divorce, you'll feel frustrated because you will have lost control of your divorce. So many of the people who call me thinking they and their spouse are not cooperative ‑ after they understand how this grotesque process of divorce actually works ‑ decide to make another attempt at a cooperative divorce, and they're almost always glad they did. Now, with that having been said, there certainly are cases where one or both of the spouses is just so dug in, so much in denial, that the husband and the wife cannot have a rational discussion about divorce. If you're in that category, you still have options, but they're more limited. My practice is focused on couples who are able to be reasonably cooperative, so I wouldn't be a good choice for you. You'll probably want to contact a lawyer who specializes in adversarial divorce. It won't surprise you that I stay in regular contact with lots of lawyers who specialize in divorce, many of whom are very comfortable in adversarial divorce. If you'd like, I'd be glad to visit with you briefly and recommend a lawyer or two who would be well suited to you and your case. Alabama Family Law Center serves clients who need to get through divorce and who are able to be reasonably cooperative. The goal is for both spouses to survive divorce and move on with their lives with some money in their pockets and their dignity intact. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
