Marriage and Divorce Law

Marriage, divorce, and related legal matters can be very complex. Divorce is ranked by many healthcare providers as the most difficult and emotional event in an adult’s life. Edward L. Hartness, P.C works closely with clients to help them get through this challenging time. When personal relationships require legal solutions, emotions rise, and lines can get drawn in the sand. This is the time that your rights in the relationship need to be protected by a calm experienced professional, who will work hard to settle your case, but aggressively litigate if settlement is not possible. At Edward L. Hartness, P.C we will file your divorce, answer a divorce that has been filed against you, enforce or modify a current order, protect you from domestic abuse, or prepare prenuptial or postnuptial agreements to protect your relationship. We understand the realities of divorce, whether contested or not, and the feelings involved. Throughout the process, we will treat you with respect and compassion. If you and your spouse can agree on all of the issues, we will prepare the legal paperwork required to allow those agreements to become a court order, preparing them in simple to understand language. If the case cannot be settled, we will take your case to trial using our many years of trial experience to present the case in a way most favorable to you. As a firm we strive to honor the preference of our clients in decisions regarding settlement or trial. We empathize with the unique circumstances of every client and each case. However, we understand that while emotions are natural and to be expected, emotion should not be a driving force in decisions that will effect the rest of your life.
