Divorce During COVID-19

There is a lot of uncertainty right now: uncertainty about when the kids will go back to school, when many of us will go back to work, and ultimately, when things will go back to normal. Although I can’t answer all of those questions, I can answer some questions you may have about your divorce or custody case.

Can I still get divorced right now? Yes. Uncontested divorces are being finalized online. Hearings and mediations are being postponed, but we are doing all we can to settle cases so that divorces can be finalized.

What if I have a custody emergency? Although the courthouses are closed to non-emergency matters, you are still entitled to a prompt hearing if there is a true emergency in your case. Judges are also holding some hearings on the phone or by video.

Can I meet with my attorney? Not in person, but we are happy to offer phone and video meetings and consultations.

What else do I need to know? You can view our COVID-19 Policies and Procedures page, which are being updated as information becomes available.

We look forward to helping you through this difficult time. Please let us know how we can help.
