Best Female Divorce Attorney in Cherokee County

Amanda Speights of Speights Law, PC is thought of by many as one of the best divorce and family law attorneys in Cherokee County.

What distinguishes Ms. Speights from other aggressive divorce attorneys in the area is her unique ability to not only grasp the facts of the case, but also her compassion and understanding for the difficult situation her client is facing.

With over 10 years of experience in the courtroom, Ms. Speights knows that no two divorces are the same. While some divorces are relatively easy to resolve, others may have multifarious complexities that only a seasoned attorney can recognize and handle.

“Since the divorce and change in visitation schedule [my daughter] has brought up all her failing grades! You have made a huge impact in both our lives and for that I'm forever grateful!’

Mediation: Mediation is a legal technique that couples may choose to use when they are going through a divorce, but prefer to not do it in court. In mediation, an unbiased mediator listens to both parties and works with them to find a compromise on their differences. With the help of a mediator and a skilled attorney counseling them through the process, most clients are able to resolve otherwise contested cases in mediation. Because mediation is so successful at resolving cases, court’s require parties to attend mediation prior to a final court hearing.

Collaborative Divorce: A collaborative divorce is similar to going through arbitration, but there is not an arbiter or 3^rd party involved. It is typically done one-on-one with each person having an attorney present to help work out the details. The attorneys work in a collaborative manner to resolve the case in the best way possible for the clients. If the couple cannot reach an amicable solution, however, a different tactic to resolve your divorce would need to be used.

Contested or Uncontested Divorce: When a couple has resolved all of the major issues in their divorce, it is considered an uncontested divorce and, in many cases, the divorce proceedings may happen much quicker than in other types of divorce. If the divorce is contested, meaning that the couple is unable to agree on matters, such as child custody, division of property, or perhaps even the actual decision to be divorced, the divorce will be considered “contested.” These types of divorces will generally go to court where a judge will hear arguments from both sides and then make a ruling on how assets will be divided or who will have custody, etc..

Fault/No-Fault Divorce: Although it is still possible to file with “fault” in a divorce, it is not as common as it once was. When a spouse claims fault in a divorce, it generally means that abuse or adultery is still present in the marriage.

“A few months ago I was in a desperate legal situation concerning the custody of my children. I called a ton of law firms to get legal advice and see what my rights were.  I had a lot of response, but none compared to the phone conversation I had with Amanda Speights with Speights Law Firm.  She did not just give me a response she gave me hope.  She is an amazing lawyer who fought for my rights and the rights of my children.”

Today, most divorces are considered as “no fault,” meaning that the couple has decided to legally end their marriage based on irreconcilable differences without there being any mention of an underlying cause or who is responsible for the breakup.
