How to reduce the cost of a divorce? | Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC

That means before you file a petition, sit down with an attorney, have a consultation, and formulate a game plan before moving ahead. Every case is different. Each client has a different set of priorities and goals. For some, the most important thing is custody of their children. For others, it is dividing a business.
