Edwin H. Ferguson, Jr. has practiced Family and Domestic Law for more than 30 years. We understand that deciding to pursue a divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional decisions you will ever make, particularly if you have children. Divorce also involves business and legal questions that must be resolved. It can be an emotional and stressful process. If you decide that divorce is necessary, it is very important that you seek the assistance of an experienced family law attorney. Involving a knowledgeable family law attorney as soon as possible in the divorce process is one of the best ways to preserve your own long-term financial and emotional health.

When there is little or no marital property, no children, no issues of alimony or spousal support, amicable spouses can usually obtain a quick divorce. Most divorces are far more complex. The typical divorce involves a marriage of many years with considerable marital property (personal and real estate), children, family businesses, large or concealed debts, trust funds, real estate in other states, joint and separate accounts, investments, insurance, pensions, and other assets. In these complex situations, the parties often cannot divide their property on their own and therefore may require court involvement for its ultimate division.
