Divorce Fundamentals — Legal Framework & Strategic Petition Drafting

Divorce Fundamentals — Understanding Equitable Division & Core Concepts

Divorce cases are at the heart of family law practice, and every professional must understand both the process and the principles behind it. In this class, we’ll cover the foundational elements of divorce law, focusing on how courts approach equitable division—what it means, how it differs from equal division, and the key factors judges consider when dividing marital property.

We’ll also discuss the role of attorney’s fees in divorce actions, including when and how they may be awarded. This class builds the conceptual framework you’ll need for the drafting and procedural lessons that follow in upcoming sessions.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a clear understanding of the legal theories, terminology, and decision-making process that drive every divorce case and know how to draft a Petition for Divorce.
