It is sad, but you and your wife have reached an impasse. You have been through numerous counseling sessions and even been to mediation but none of these conciliatory concepts worked for you and your spouse.
Now, it is time to obtain legal counsel so you can sue your wife for divorce, divide up your assets and decide on an equitable custody agreement. Because of the diverse assets you have accumulated during the 15 years of your marriage, a division of property may present some difficulty.
You are very aware that you will need an experienced set of lawyers in the DC area, where you live. Your Bethesda divorce lawyers need to be experts at handling complicated divorce cases. Because you own several small businesses in the Washington DC/Maryland areas, you need that level of expertise to handle your case. You and your spouse have many investments as well and so your Bethesda divorce lawyers must have special expertise in that area as well. This will be no run-of-the-mill case.
This will be a complex divorce and you need an attorney who can bring in experts in business and finance to assure that each of you gets what is their fair and appropriate share.
The first approach you want your attorney to pursue is an amicable and equal settlement that keeps your family as whole as possible within this divorce. However, should that not be possible or feasible, you want an attorney who will fight for you.
