We Will Not Settle for Less Than You Are Entitled to Under the Law
In divorce, it is easy to get wrapped up in the decisions being made and let emotions lead how those decisions are handled. While in many cases divorce can be resolved more efficiently and cost-effectively through a negotiated divorce agreement, in other situations this approach does not achieve the client's goal nor does it protect his or her interests. Fort Lauderdale contested divorce lawyer Deborah Bianchi Tracht has extensive trial experience, is results-driven and knows what it takes to keep focused on client objectives in family law disputes such as divorce. She will not settle for less than what you are entitled to under the law.
What Makes a Divorce Case Contested?
Florida divorce lawyers and judges apply the PEACE acronym to divorce cases. While this acronym describes the manner in which most lawyers and judges hope cases can be handled, it also highlights the relevant issues to be decided in divorce, whether contested or uncontested:
- Parental issues (child custody and visitation; parental time sharing)
- Equitable distribution of property and debts
- Alimony (spousal support)
- Child support
- Everything else (family violence, prenuptial agreements and other issues)
In an uncontested divorce, all aspects of the divorce must be agreed upon by both parties for the divorce to be considered uncontested. If any of the matters are disputed, the case must be filed in court as a contested divorce. However, if a full divorce agreement — detailing child custody (time sharing), property division, spousal support, child support and all other issues — can be reached through negotiation, mediation or other form of alternative dispute resolution, the case can be converted into an uncontested divorce.

At our law firm, we strive to avoid letting this happen. We work hard to find creative solutions to child custody disputes, asset and debt division disputes, and spousal or child support disputes. However, when the other side is unreasonable, or when it better serves a client's wishes, we relentlessly pursue an outcome in the courtroom.
