A contested divorce proceeding can be one of the most contentious legal proceedings there is. A skilled divorce lawyer is a necessity when there are children and property at stake. McFarling Benson provides professional, knowledgeable, and aggressive Las Vegas Divorce Lawyers.

One of the most common questions we get is “What makes a particular family law situation contested as opposed to uncontested?”

When the parties are not agreeing on the terms of divorce or custody, this is generally what defines a matter as contested. The complexity of a contested divorce varies from the contested matter revolving solely around child custody; to a contesting of property, debt, physical assets, bank accounts, retirement accounts etc.

Contested proceedings can cost vastly more than uncontested ones due to the amount of motions needing to be filed and hearings that need to be attended. In many cases contested matters end up in trial.

At McFarling Benson, our divorce lawyers attempt to settle matters as quickly as possible to keep client costs minimal but in the event that a settlement cannot be reached our divorce attorneys are fully prepared to enter court and fight on behalf of our family law clients.
