An Informed and Planned Approach to Divorce
In order to avoid mistakes or missteps that could hurt your case, it is crucial to talk to an attorney and get informed of your rights early. We work closely with our clients, taking stock of the emotional content of the marriage in order to get an idea for how the personalities involved will affect the likelihood of reaching a consent agreement or separation agreement.
How Will Divorce Affect Your Life?
From determining where your children will grow up to what property you will keep, there are many common issues that are hashed out during a divorce. But other things can change as well. For instance, if you have any wills, trusts or power of attorney arrangements, they will likely need to be re-worked as a result of your divorce. We can help you take the appropriate steps in order to update these important documents.
Alimony
Unless adultery was a factor in the end of your marriage, temporary support will be granted to a dependant spouse. A number of factors will be explored by the judge in determining whether alimony is appropriate, including the length of the marriage, needs and expenses of the parties, ability to earn and ability to pay. Alimony will end in the event of death, cohabitation or remarriage by the spouse receiving it.
