Moncure & Barnicle

Mid Coast Maine Attorney

If you are preparing to file for divorce, it may be beneficial for you to contact a family law attorney from Moncure & Barnicle. The team has more than 170 years of combined legal experience, and they understand exactly what is needed in order to successfully file for divorce. Before filing for divorce, either one or both spouses must be a resident of Maine for at least six months. As a mixed state, you can file for divorce based on fault or no-fault grounds. In addition, as an equitable division state, each spouse owns the income they earn during the marriage, and has the right to manage any property that is in their name alone. At the time of divorce however, the name on the property will not be the only determining factor. Rather, the judge will divide the property in a way they view to be fair—even if it is not necessarily equal. Divorce can be one of the most emotionally draining legal processes to have to work through, and the team is prepared to offer you their trusted legal counsel whether your situation calls for mediation, negotiation, or litigation in a Maine family court.
