Steps in the Divorce Process

As a dedicated Rochester Divorce Lawyer, I am often asked about the steps in the divorce process.

  • The client’s first step toward divorce is learning about his or her legal rights.
  • The second step is making a decision as to whether or not to proceed with the divorce.
  • If the decision is to proceed, the next step is to sign and file certain required documents, including a payment agreement between the client and the attorney with respect to legal fees and a statement of client rights.
  • After that, the divorce action actually starts  a summons filed in the county clerk’s office.

Do you want to start the divorce process, but don’t know how?  Contact dedicated Rochester Divorce Lawyer Michael Ranzenhofer for guidance.
