What are the Benefits of a Private Divorce Settlement?

Additionally, litigation can fracture whatever positive feelings you may still have towards your spouse.

A litigious divorce is prime territory to foster increasing levels of animosity between you and your spouse. A private settlement can help prevent this from happening and allow you and your spouse to work out a positive co-parenting relationship post-marriage. This will be in your best interest and, more importantly, in the best interest of your children.

You have the time to evaluate both the short and long term consequences of the settlement. You also have the opportunity to looks at things like the tax impacts of the settlement.
