San Diego Marital Settlement Agreement Lawyers – Helping You Move On

Divorce is an unfortunate result of a marriage for anyone involved, but what tends to make these matters worse is when these matters are tied up in court, antagonistic and extremely adversarial.  There are many cases in which a divorce process will start out in a civil manner, but the process itself will lead to frustration, impatience and ultimately a divorce that can take months if not years to complete.

Simply put, you and your family have worked hard to obtain the assets you currently hold.  Even though you’ll be going your separate ways, there’s no reason to lose all that you’ve worked for by obtaining a divorce.  In these situations, everyone loses.  Fortunately, there is an option for those who want to avoid all of these issues – marital settlement agreements.  Below is information regarding how these are formed and the benefits that can be enjoyed if you work with an experienced San Diego marital settlement agreement lawyer.

The Nature of San Diego Marital Settlement Agreements

When one removes all of the emotion and the self-imposed complications that can be a central part of a divorce, the process of ending a marriage can be relatively simple.  Basically, whether the parties agree to work together or not, the end result is some form of a marital settlement agreement that’s either decided upon after litigation or worked out between the parties.

If two people who want a divorce are able to work through the basic issues that tie themselves to a divorce, the process of executing a marital settlement agreement can be smooth and efficient.  Issues that need to be resolved in a divorce can include:

  • Asset division
  • Property division
  • Retirement accounts
  • Custody if children are involved
  • Visitation
  • Child support
  • Health insurance

If the parties to a San Diego divorce can come to an agreement on these issues, all that’s needed beyond that is help from an experienced San Diego marital settlement agreement lawyer.

How a San Diego Marital Settlement Agreement Lawyer Can Help

After you’ve agreed on the basic terms listed above, you will still need help guiding your divorce through the legal system, as a judge will ultimately need to issue an order dissolving the marriage.  This is where the San Diego marital settlement agreement lawyers at the law offices of James D.

Marital Settlement Agreements

Commonly known as an “MSA”, these are comprehensive agreements between spouses intended to reach every potential issue. The benefit of an MSA is the direct involvement of the husband and wife in the process outside of court. The artful drafting of this critical document could prevent future problems with anyone from the spouse to creditors to the IRS.
