Divorce
The first step in the divorce process is always the most difficult. It's a tough, emotional, and trying time. You may be confused about the legalities of your situation, or you may feel overwhelmed by all the procedures that need to be taken care of. We help put an end to all that with our easy-to-use, step-by-step process that manages all aspects of your divorce, right from filing for divorce to negotiating child custody with your ex-spouse.
Custody of Children
If the child's parents cannot agree on custody, the courts make the decision based on "the best interests of the child." Both parents share significant decisions impacting the child, including school, health care, and religion, under joint legal custody. Extracurriculars, camp, dating age or finding a job, and discipline methods are also considered.
Time spent with each parent is joint physical custody. Flexible time can range from a reasonable time for one parent, like every other weekend, to a child spending time evenly between the two houses. When time is split equally between both parents, it benefits if they live close together. Let us help you navigate through your custodial concerns.
Child Support
Our family lawyers work closely with parents to ensure a smooth transition from divorce to shared parenting and make sure the children remain in their homes throughout the process. We also work with non-custodial parents looking for help with child support. payments. Typically, the parent who spends the least time with the child pays child support. However, if both parents share equal time with the child, the person with the higher income pays child support. The amount of time the payor spends with the kid may lessen child support obligations. Some states additionally limit assistance to a specified income threshold.
