When a marriage ends, the husband, wife, and children suffer. There is no way around the emotional pain that a divorce creates. Often times one spouse is angry at the other for past perceived transgressions and wants to "get even." Unfortunately, getting even ends up costing the husband and wife a large sum of money. Some lawyers will joke that "the reason divorce is so expensive is because it is worth it." Here at Kelly, Arndt & Walker, we don't believe divorce is a laughing matter. We treat your divorce as loss mitigation. We strive to minimize the damaging impact on the children, the relationship, and the finances. We will discuss with you every step of the way the estimated costs, the possible returns for the costs, and the best avenue forward. We will then listen to your concerns and ideas. The client provides the facts of the case and we provide the legal acumen. A case cannot be resolved successfully without the best use of the facts and the law. Our experience will help you navigate this troubling time and attempt to lessen the impact of the divorce on your life. We are honest and up front with our clients, providing them realistic probabilities so they can make realistic decisions. All too often, attorneys will make promises they simply cannot keep. Here at Kelly, Arndt & Walker, we don't make promises; we make client-focused actions based upon solid information. Even if you don't choose us to handle your divorce, we hope that you will make a wise choice to help you survive this difficult time.
