People don't always see eye-to-eye when getting divorced. Some divorces are more contentious than others, some are downright ugly. While it is always better for people to try and agree upon the easiest way to make it through their divorce, it is not always possible. If you are contemplating divorce and you anticipate problems with your soon-to-be ex spouse, it is in your best interest to reach out to an attorney sooner than later.

Often times, in anticipation of divorce, people will begin to hide assets, acquire debt, or worst of all, try to turn the children against the other parent. When this happens, you have options.

Once a divorce is initiated with the court, you can always motion the court to intervene if necessary. As a matter of course, courts are very liberal in granting what are called "status-quo orders," which prevent both parties from refusing to pay bills, acquiring new debts, or selling off property. Further, if it becomes necessary, a party may ask the court to enter a "parental cooperation order," which, among other things, prevents a parent from disparaging the other parent in front of the children.
