A Proven Trial Lawyer for Your Contested Alabama Divorce
Going all the way to trial in a contested divorce is expensive. It also involves risk, because no attorney can guarantee the results you want — no matter how much you are willing to spend. However, some divorces cannot be resolved amicably. It is essential to protect your personal interests and your children's well-being in these tough situations.
While we encourage negotiation and mediation to resolve family law issues whenever possible, attorney Shane Oncale is a trial-tested veteran with skills you can rely on for strong representation. Please contact us today if you cannot communicate with your divorcing spouse or if you anticipate serious difficulty in agreeing on critical issues.
Equipped to Handle Disputes Over Hidden Assets, Valuable Property and Other Issues
We know that a wide range of circumstances and disputes can make it necessary to prepare for divorce litigation. At The Oncale Firm, located near UAB in Birmingham, we can begin building the best case possible for you while remaining open to negotiation. Or we can take an aggressive approach from day one in the effort to ensure you get all you deserve.
We know from experience that preparing rigorously for a contested divorce may be necessary if, for example:
- You suspect your spouse of hiding income or assets in order to avoid equitable division of property and/or orders to pay child support and alimony
- You have valuable, complex assets to protect — such as your interests in real estate, a family business, a professional practice, or investments
- The other parent is determined to seek a child custody and visitation arrangement that is unacceptable to you
- Allegations of "fault" for the divorce — based on factors such as adultery, abandonment, or cruelty — could impact property division or the alimony/spousal support awarded
