Separation of Assets

The goal of hiring a lawyer to negotiate the separation of assets (and debts, if applicable) is to ensure the distribution is equitable and can be agreed upon as quickly as possible. This may include material possessions such as a home, automobiles, and other property, or financial assets like money, retirement accounts, stocks, and other holdings.

Child Custody

There are many decisions to be made during the divorce process and several issues to cover, such as custody of children, spousal and child support, division of assets, and division of debt. Child custody, however, is always the most sensitive and often the most complex. Every action taken during this phase of a divorce will most likely have a significant impact on the emotional well-being of the child or children involved, meaning that custody issues should be handled as smoothly as possible, and out of court whenever able.

Alimony

Alimony, also known as spousal support, can take a variety of forms. Its purpose is to ensure that if one spouse was earning significantly more than the other during the marriage, the spouse earning less is provided for after the marriage ends. Depending on the circumstances of the marriage, alimony can be set for a finite period of time or open-ended. If one spouse supported the other for various reasons during the marriage, it may be deemed necessary to set up a reimbursement plan consisting of a series of alimony payments. In addition, spousal support can take other forms in special cases.
