How do issues get decided?

In a variety of ways. Your attorney’s goal should be to help you achieve a high-quality, lasting resolution of all issues—at the lowest emotional and financial cost. Part of your attorney’s job is to help you determine what is in the best interest of you and your children. Is a divorce really necessary? Can the need for one be eliminated by modifying the behavior or expectations of one or both parties?
No one process is right for all couples. That’s why you need an attorney who has familiarity with all of the possibilities to help you decide what’s right for you. The decision to litigate should be based on the facts of your case. Before choosing a course of action, evaluate all of your options.
