If you are considering divorce, this is why you shouldn't take chances with an inexperienced lawyer.  You need and deserve an attorney with real experience in this area of the law.  Someone who will help take away some of the legal stress that is common with a divorce, and to help you avoid a long and drawn-out court battle.

Attorney Bill Odum is the lawyer that will fight for your best interests.  An Honors graduate of Birmingham Law School,  Bill has the experience that you deserve when it comes to matters of divorce and custody, whether through trial or negotiation.

 

How can a divorce be granted?   In Alabama, a divorce can be granted on either fault or no-fault grounds. Fault typically involves adultery, desertion, cruelty or felony conviction and confinement for two years or longer. Generally speaking, a so-called "no fault" divorce can be obtained after a six-month continuous separation, if there are no minor children and the parties have entered into a written separation agreement. In the absence of such an agreement, or if minor children are involved, a one-year continuous separation is grounds for divorce.
