What Is a Contested Divorce?
A contested divorce occurs when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues, requiring court intervention to settle disputes. This process is often more complex, time-consuming, and emotionally challenging than an uncontested divorce.
Common areas of dispute include:
- Division of assets and debts – Determining how property, savings, and debts are split.
- Child custody and visitation – Establishing parenting time and decision-making authority.
- Child support – Deciding how much financial support a child should receive.
- Spousal maintenance (alimony) – Determining if one spouse should receive financial support.
- Business or high-value asset division – Handling cases involving businesses, real estate, or large financial portfolios.
When disagreements arise, the case may proceed to trial, where a judge will make the final decision based on the evidence presented.

I hired Johnson law group for an adoption matter. I worked with Daniel Sol as my attorney and his assistant Katie Wilson. They were with me every step of the way. Daniel listened to all of my concerns and helped to address all issues. Without their assistance and guidance, I would have had a much harder time making it through my case! I highly recommend Daniel sol, Katie Wilson and Johnson law group

Shana Velazquez and Julie Hernandez helped me with my divorce and they were amazing. Shana was so good about explaining everything to me and calming my anxiety. Being 64 and going through a divorce was very daunting to me and I appreciate their help and kind words more than words can say. I highly recommend them!

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

I came to the Johnson Law Group during a time of extreme stress. Andrea Dalton accepted my case and made me feel right at ease. She is compassionate, gives sound advice, and helped me obtain over $20,000 that my ex husband was illegally withholding from me. I appreciate her for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. If I have any issues with my ex in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to Andrea for help.
