Do we have to go to court?

Many family matters resolve through agreement or mediation without a contested hearing. Court is the fallback when agreement is not possible, and preparing as though it might happen tends to produce better agreements.

How long will this take?

It depends almost entirely on how much is contested. Matters where the parties agree on the major points move considerably faster than those where they do not. We give you a realistic range once we see what is in dispute.

What if we already have an order and things have changed?

Existing orders can generally be modified when circumstances change substantially, though what qualifies is specific and worth checking before you stop following the current order. Do not simply stop paying or withhold time.

Should I move out of the house?

Do not decide that on your own. Moving out can affect how time sharing and use of the home are handled, so it is worth one conversation before you do it, not after.
