The topic of divorce is often a very tough one to discuss. It's a legal process that often leaves many confused and frustrated, all while they're trying to sort out the highly emotional process of leaving a married relationship. Often there are high stakes to a divorce being performed properly, such as in the case of child custody, or contested assets.
Legally speaking, marriage exists as a contract between two people. Like any contract, it has terms that are set that the two parties, the spouses, agree upon.
A divorce filing is fundamentally a dissolving of that contract, and like any contract, that involves the legal process of coming to some kind of agreement on how to end the contract, including how to divide assets, who to place the children with, and what visitation rights each person has, as well as alimony settlements.Most times, the divorced couple agrees on those terms and comes to an easy settlement that allows them to move on quickly.

A divorce comes in many forms. All of them can be difficult, but the form with the least amount of hassle is the uncontested divorce. The case of an uncontested divorce is ideal, as it has the least amount of time spent taking legal action. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before determining that your divorce is indeed uncontested.
Child custody and visitation matters can be a challenging hurdle to overcome when going through a divorce or the end of a relationship. The main priority in these matters should always be whatever is in the best interest of the child and, if both parents cannot agree on what that is, the family court can then decide on how matters should proceed.

The strongest and most competent legal team I could ask for. Alison, Walter, and the entire team that works at Herlihy Family Law helped me through my child custody case for the past year. As a father fighting for custody I was intimidated going into this battle. From the very first phone call with Alison and throughout the entire year of our case, I am positive I made the right decision in choosing them to represent me. They were always thorough, honest, hard working, quick to communicate with me through every step, and quick to take action when needed. All information was presented to me in a

I am so grateful for Alison Herlihy! I live out of the area and didn't know which attorney to choose for my case. After inquiring around, she came highly recommended from another attorney plus an Alabama senator. (great endorsements) She not only handled my case very professionally, but consistently responded to my emails and concerns in a timely manner. Her firm made the process go very smoothly and painless, getting me the results I needed. For anyone seeking an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, who you want to be with you the whole step of the way, then Alison Herlihy is the person to

Alison is what’s known as a “SME” (Subject Matter Expert) in military terms. If you are Honest, Respectful and follow her sage guidance, you will prevail in court. She is worth EVERY penny. Do your part, and she will definitely do hers. You could not ask for a better attitude.

I went through a long and difficult contested divorce with no minor children. Alison and her team were so good at advising me throughout the process. They were patient and understanding with any issue I had. If I had questions or concerns, Alison was able to answer and put me at ease. She has a gift for being the right balance of firm and compassionate. In preparing for trial, she was knowledgeable, skilled and thorough. I would recommend her and her team to anyone for any area of family law.

After several court visits to be able to see my boys, even though I was paying Mortgage, utilities and full child support with no success and being told by my previous lawyer that it is not unusual to be paying so much as a physician; I saw Alison in court during my multiple court visits and I just had the feeling that I should consider her as a… lawyer. After researching her more I decided to get her counsel. I would say that was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Immediately she got on the case, I was able to see my boys as scheduled on the court order. She was trying to
