Transcript: Patrick: Very good. So you're dealing with somebody that's been offended typically. Would that be about right?
Kimberly: Well, maybe.
Patrick: Everything except maybe business law where there's a contract involved, where you're getting one set. But when you're talking about a separation or divorce or something of that nature, that's an emotionally charged event. Somebody is offended typically.
Kimberly: Yes.
Patrick: They sit down with you, they have their consultation, you let them know what some of the steps are. How long is that process now for that to begin and maybe eventually to get a court date? Is it very long?
Kimberly: It depends on the circumstances because the minimum number of days it can take to get a divorce is 60 days from the date you filed a petition. But it really happens on the 61st day that you file and prove-up a divorce. Every case is different and your needs may be different. Are you in a situation where you need to where we help? Is someone in the home that won't leave? Do you need support right away? Do we need to go see the judge and have the judge make a decision on what it will look like until we do make this final? We have to go to trial. There are a number of things that we have to go through that I have to hear from my clients and ask them questions so that I can ascertain where they are and how to proceed.
Patrick: How complicated is the child scenario? When children are involved, how big of a piece of the puzzle is that?
Kimberly: If there are children involved, it's absolutely huge. There are so many different alternatives. They can pursue different avenues. Sometimes you have to have a hearing right away and sometimes you don't. Sometimes mediation is involved where there's a third party and you go and you just try to hammer it out. I really encourage that. I call it getting a custom home versus a truck home.
If you go to the mediation route, you can really carve it and make it say what you want. If you go the route where you have to go talk to the judge, you're going to get the custom home where that's what everybody gets. It's a track home. It's not custom to you.
So if you want some control and you want to do it so that it looks like what it's your family, then either mediation or some kind of negotiation is the way to go.
