Divorce

Negotiate a divorce agreement or litigate your divorce.

As experienced divorce lawyers, the Wasserman White Family Law team works with clients to determine the best strategy for filing for and obtaining a divorce.

The Divorce Process

The divorce process can be overwhelming. There are many important decisions that need to be made, and often, you do not know where to start. That is where we excel.

We will schedule a consultation with you to discuss your particular situation. We will get an understanding of your background and goals. We can then discuss the best approach to achieving them. We will guide you through every step of the process and provide the necessary information so you can make the best decisions for yourself and your family.

As part of the divorce process, we will help you navigate:

Temporary Relief (support, child custody, living arrangements during the divorce)
Day-to-Day Decisions with your Co-Parent
The Court or Alternative Dispute Resolution Timeline and Process
Division of Property (including complex assets)
Experts (including appraisers, forensic accountants, and business valuators)
Alimony
Child Custody and Child Support

Five Stars for Martha

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of the terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place. She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

Third Time’s a Charm with Virginia

I had a great experience with Virginia. I first contacted her in regard to a divorce when I was at my wits-end. I had attempted to divorce my abusive (NOW!) ex-husband twice before on my own and both times I failed. It was just too much while I was juggling caring for my four kids. Hiring Virginia was truly the best thing I could have ever done. The conversations were open, and I felt heard when I shared my situation and what I hoped the outcome to be. What I appreciated most was that she’d give me advice but made it clear the choice was ultimately my decision—I wasn’t just along for the ride. She explained the processes and kept me informed throughout the entire process and we ended up with the justice and judgment I deserved. Thank you, Virginia!

Absolutely Amazing is an Understatement

I was referred to Laurie Wasserman and hired her to represent me in my extremely difficult divorce and custody case. From day one, I was confident I had made the right choice. She and her team worked with me and advocated for me harder than I could have ever imagined. She has a vast knowledge of the law and she not only advised, but supported me throughout the most strenuous year and a half of my entire life. She is organized, professional, kind, understanding, and savvy. When we finally went to trial, I had the utmost confidence in Laurie, her team, and my case. She also made sure I was completely prepared for all possible scenarios. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and I will be forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. I can honestly say that hiring Laurie to represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and the outcome we were able to reach is the absolute best I could dream of for my family.
