Divorce is difficult and sometimes, during a divorce process, couples are unable to come to an agreement with their spouse. In this case, you may want to hire a divorce attorney in Portland to help you through the process.

When should you hire a divorce attorney? It makes sense to hire an attorney in the following circumstances:

• Child custody disputes between the parents
• Concerns or allegations of child abuse
• Complicated assets to value, including businesses or financial instruments, such as stock options
• You believe or suspect that your spouse is concealing assets, debt, or income
• You do not understand or know the full extent of your marital estate.
• Your case will require complex financial or medial planning.
• One of the parties is not legally competent to contract.
• There has been violence or abuse in the relationship or one of the spouses is clearly dominant and controlling.

Under these circumstances, hiring a divorce attorney is completely advised and warranted. However, in the mediation process, your divorce will be more amicable and faster.

That is what One Day Divorce does: we offer a faster, more economical and amicable divorce. Divorce mediation has multiple advantages:
