Kim — along with her legal assistant Jennifer — handled a tough, lengthy divorce and custody case for me in 2015/16. She was a constant professional, quickly answered questions, and was warm and friendly. Kim dealt with a hostile and often non-responsive opposing counsel with ease. I would highly recommend her services.
Jason — Five Star ReviewAdvantages of Settling Your Case
and Avoiding Litigation
Today, many couples seeking divorce would rather avoid the time, expense and embarrassment of going to trial. Understandably, they do not want delicate issues brought up in court and made part of public record. Litigation expenses are considerable, and trials can drag on and often be quite stressful because they are adversarial in nature. Certainly, whenever you can resolve issues outside of court, it is to your advantage.
Mediation is an effective alternative to litigation and helps many couples find the common ground necessary to reach settlements. Couples can devise arrangements during mediation that are often not reachable through courtroom litigation.
The issues of child custody, visitation, child support and property division must be resolved or decided by the judge to finalize your divorce. Couples often settle one or more family law issues without going to trial. However, a thorny issue that evades an out-of-court resolution would require litigation.
Advantages of Litigation
In a marriage with an abusive spouse, a narcissistic personality, or a spouse with addiction problems, sitting down to negotiate a resolution may prove difficult. Barriers exist that inhibit effective communication. Also, face-to-face interaction can result in high levels of stress. Even though judges typically order couples to mediation, they may find they cannot resolve their issues and consequently their case will move forward into litigation. In this type of case, you may need the firm guidance that a judge provides, and a trial can help you avoid direct communication or confrontation with the other spouse. In many instances, cases that begin as lawsuits end up resolving outside the courtroom through attorney-negotiated settlements.
Attorney Kimberly Killebrew is well known for her empathetic nature and skills in guiding her clients. She is very adept at reaching fair settlements, when dealing with opposing counsel. She also provides strong advocacy in the courtroom and will not hesitate to take your case to trial, if that is your desire or most suitable for your situation.
