Even the simplest divorce or dissolution may involve complex issues and it is strongly suggested that you schedule an appointment at your convenience. The initial consultation is AT NO COST TO YOU.

IS TIME OF THE ESSENCE?

If a divorce complaint or motion hearing has already been filed and you have been served, absolutely YES! Such matters are extremely time sensitive.

If you are merely inquiring as to your rights and responsibilities, you can usually take the time to get your questions answered and figure out what is in the best interests of yourself and/or your children.

WHAT WILL I NEED TO BRING TO MY INITIAL CONSULTATION?

Just yourself!!!! The information necessary to evaluate your particular situation and receive initial advice as to your rights and responsibilities can be obtained from information you will be able to relate to Mr. Gunnoe from memory. If you do decide to proceed with Mr. Gunnoe as your legal representative, you will need to provide specific information: tax returns, bills, appraisal, etc.

WILL I BE ABLE TO KEEP MY ASSETS?

Speaking in general terms, marital assets will be divided on a roughly equal basis. Marital assets include just about every asset you and your spouse have accumulated during the marriage.

HOW MUCH CHILD SUPPORT WILL I RECEIVE/PAY?

With few exceptions, child support is calculated according to a statewide schedule. Income, child related expenses, and other factors are fed into the computer and the support amount is immediately known. Support is almost always paid by payroll deduction.

HOW MUCH SPOUSAL SUPPORT WILL I RECEIVE/PAY?

The issue of spousal support is not as readily determined as child support. The Court has much more discretion in determining the amount and terms. Relevant factors are length of the marriage, disparity in income and the overall equities involved.

CAN I GET MY SPOUSE TO PAY MY LAWYER FEES?

Possibly. Disparity in income is the overwhelming factor in the Court's determination.
