Divorce Can Affect More Than You Expect — Without Clear Guidance

When you’re already stretched thin, divorce decisions can feel overwhelming.

You may worry about protecting your finances, your kids, and your future — and whether you’ll be okay on the other side.

It’s natural to wonder, “Do I have what it takes to get through this without losing what matters most?”

You do. And having the right guidance can make a meaningful difference in how your divorce unfolds — financially, legally, and emotionally.

What’s Commonly at Risk in Divorce:

01

Being forced to leave a home you rely on.

03

Unclear parenting schedules or decision-making.

05

Dividing retirement savings and long-term assets.

02

Ongoing stress about monthly bills.

04

Unfair child or spousal support outcomes.

06

Responsibility for debts you didn’t create.

01

Being forced out of your home — or stuck with one you can’t afford.

02

Getting too little (or paying too much) in child or spousal support.

03

Struggling to cover bills each month or save for the future.

04

Losing your fair share of retirement savings.

05

Having no real say in your children’s schedule, care, or activities.

06

Being blamed for things you didn’t cause like bad debt.

Your children deserve stability. We’ll make sure child support is set at the right amount and handled with care, ensuring their needs are met and their well-being protected.

Meet the Founder:
Latrice Knighton, Esq.

Valor Divorce Firm began long before it had a name; it began with my own divorce.

I know what it feels like to face hidden debt, mounting bills, and the fear of losing everything you’ve built. When I couldn’t afford a lawyer, I did the only thing I could: I went to the law library, studied the rules, and represented myself from start to finish.

That experience changed everything.

I became a divorce attorney to change how people experience this process — to make it simpler, fairer, and less intimidating.

For over 15 years, I’ve helped more than 1,000 people protect their children, their finances, and their peace of mind. I’ve worked in large firms and seen firsthand how traditional models can drain families emotionally and financially. That’s why I created Valor Divorce Firm: a modern practice built on clarity, compassion, and strategy.

Our mission is simple:

We support women who feel stuck in marriages with no peace and want a clear path forward.

We provide steady legal guidance and practical planning to protect what matters most.

We help women leave their marriage stronger — and return to peace, financially, emotionally, and legally.

Every divorce situation is different. You decide how much help you need. From limited advice to mediation to full legal representation, we meet you where you are. We then help you move forward with a clear plan. You’ll feel confident, leave stronger, and move toward peace.

At Valor Divorce Firm, we help people where they are — not push them into something they don’t want.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce Law

Start by getting informed. Schedule a consultation with a trusted divorce attorney or family law attorney to understand your rights, options, and next steps. Having professional guidance early helps you avoid costly mistakes later.
Costs depend on your situation and whether your case is contested, uncontested, or handled through collaborative law or mediation. During your consultation, we’ll explain what to expect and provide a clear, upfront estimate so you can plan with confidence.
In most cases, each spouse pays their own legal fees. However, a judge can require one party to cover some or all of the other’s costs, especially if there’s a financial imbalance or unfair advantage. Our divorce lawyers can help you understand how this may apply to your case.
It depends on your situation. An uncontested divorce may finalize in a few months, while a contested divorce or a high-asset case can take longer. We’ll help you set realistic timelines from day one.
In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on key issues like custody, assets, and support. Contested divorces require court involvement to resolve disagreements. We handle both.
Not always. Many divorces can be settled through mediation or negotiation. If court is necessary, we’ll be prepared to represent you confidently.
Most states follow either equitable distribution or community property laws. We’ll explain how your state’s laws apply to your unique assets.
Yes. If circumstances change, you may request a modification to child custody, visitation, or support orders. Our divorce lawyers can guide you through that process.
