Solid Information and the Flexibility to Handle Things Your Way
Many people under the stress of a pending divorce make decisions they later regret, because they do not want to fight or do not have key information. Others are understandably hurt or angry and end up spending far more money than necessary pursuing unrealistic outcomes. We help you stay in control of your own decisions — with the full benefit of caring, knowledgeable counsel.
Shane Oncale is an experienced trial lawyer who takes a balanced, productive approach to divorce. We can:
- Guard your interests throughout the process of completing an efficient uncontested divorce
- Help you examine options, evaluate potential compromises and reach a divorce settlement through mediation — whether ordered by a judge or mutually agreed upon as a way to avoid the cost, risk and stress of a trial
- Do the calculations and research necessary to prepare the best case possible if you believe a contested divorce is likely and worth it in your situation
Understanding and Supporting Your Goals on Key Issues
Whichever path your case requires, we strive to maximize your control over what happens. Your priorities become ours as we move toward resolution of issues including:
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support and alimony/spousal maintenance
- Marital property division — including equitable division of debt, and any need or desire to protect complex assets such as real estate, business holdings or investments
- Rights to a military pension or disability benefits, if you or your spouse is active military or a veteran
