Legal Areas I Address In Divorce Cases
I can help you address a wide variety of legal issues during a divorce, including:
- Property division: Helping you split up important assets, like the family home, investments, retirement accounts or 401(k)s, business assets and more. It is crucial to determine which assets are marital property and which are separate property.
- Alimony: Helping a former spouse secure support after their marriage ends, especially if they expected financial support from their partner and will find it challenging to re-enter the workforce.
- Child custody: Addressing both physical and legal custody, or where the child lives and the legal rights parents have to make decisions for the child.
- Child support: Helping to address child support obligations, the rights of the child and the custodial parent, and related court orders.
- Temporary orders: Temporary orders for both support and custody may be issued during the divorce process itself.
A divorce attorney can help you protect your rights in all of these areas.
Divorce With Children
If you are going through a divorce with children, it is important to focus on maintaining a stable routine, which is often why temporary orders are used. In some cases, child psychologists or counselors will help children work through the process. There are also many co-parenting strategies that can be used to minimize conflict. For instance, some couples will communicate by text or email rather than on the phone or in person. Having a detailed child custody plan can also be important, defining rights and ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
