During the dissolution of marriage, important decisions will need to be made regarding issues such as property, child support, child custody and finances. Attorney Chris Doskocil provides attentive, experienced legal help throughout all negotiations that are part of a divorce action.
Chris Doskocil is a lawyer who recognizes that costs matter to divorcing couples as they go their separate ways. There are only two ways to get divorced, you and your spouse come to an agreement or you go to trial. Even in contested cases, most divorces are finalized by agreement, not by going to trial. Often that agreement comes after several months of litigation. Like most lawyers we charge by the hour and litigation can consume a lot of lawyer time and therefore become costly. We can't make your spouse and their lawyer agree to what you and I view as reasonable and that is frustrating for clients. You can expect us to recommend a course of action that, in our experience, is the most likely outcome. That is the benefit of 51 years of experience. We will be prepared and represent you tenaciously at a cost effective price. We've successfully battled with many of the "well recognized" law firms in town. At the end of the case, our client's bill has always been dramatically less than their former spouse. Everybody wants a Cadillac for the price of a Chevrolet.

If there are no children involved in the divorce, you and your spouse will focus primarily on property and finances. This occurs if you are a young couple who never had children or an older couple with adult children.

Motions to Modify
Courts retain jurisdiction to modify the judgment of dissolution regarding issues of child custody and support and maintenance. A substantial and continuing change in circumstances is required to modify the terms of a judgment that now seem unreasonable. Parents and children's lives change after divorce and it can be necessary to ask the court to change or modify the terms of the divorce.
