Skilled Divorce Lawyers Serving Las Vegas and Southern Nevada

Are you contemplating a divorce? Has your spouse started divorce proceedings? Family and friends may be eager to give you advice. While this help is often well-meaning, it can also be misguided or uninformed. At The Dickerson Law Group, we encourage people to seek help from an experienced attorney who will give you the proper advice and guidance.

For help with a contested divorce, call The Dickerson Law Group at 702-487-7643 or toll free at 888-701-7132 to schedule your consultation. Someone will be in touch with you promptly. We arrange consultations during regular business hours to accommodate your schedule.

How long does a divorce take?
In a contested divorce, the parties are unable to agree about either one issue or all issues. Uncontested divorces, on the other hand, are for couples who can work cooperatively to resolve issues. It may take anywhere from six months to one year before your divorce is slated for trial. Whenever possible, mediation should be considered as an alternative to litigation — it is normally much more cost-effective and quicker. Our firm takes the time to give you the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision about your options to move forward.

What issues are involved in a divorce?
The Dickerson Law Group provides comprehensive representation to people throughout Southern Nevada who are involved in divorce proceedings. Our attorneys seek reasonable outcomes for all the following divorce matters:

• Spousal support: Whether you will be receiving support or paying support, our firm seeks fair determinations for temporary, rehabilitative and permanent support.
• Child custody: Our firm strives to obtain satisfactory custody and visitation arrangements for parents who are experiencing divorce.
• Child support: We can help you understand the child support guidelines and the factors that are used to determine support payments.
• Property division: Nevada is a community property state. In most cases, property, assets and debts are divided 50/50. Our lawyers provide experienced advocacy to ensure property division is handled appropriately.

The Dickerson Law Group stresses the importance of obtaining legal help as soon as possible — even if you do not think the divorce will be contested. We also encourage people to plan ahead by maintaining financial records and obtaining copies of important documents.
