WATCH: What are the benefits of divorce litigation?

Amanda Blystone answers:

In a divorce case, the main benefit of litigation is obtaining assistance from a judge when you are unable to resolve an issue by agreement with your spouse. Sometimes even when a party has been ordered by a court to do one thing or another, he or she is simply unwilling to cooperate. In those cases, you can ask a judge to take action to help you get the relief you need.
