Divorce

Divorce

The members of our practice walk our clients through difficult times, helping them navigate the legal system and adjust to a new normal for their families. When parties are seeking to get divorced, they must either reach an agreement on all of the financial issues that have arisen as a result of their marriage or they proceed through the courts where the decision is made for them. A jointly reached agreement will need to include provisions on custody (if the parties have children), alimony and support, and distribution of the assets and liabilities acquired during the marriage.

One of the biggest concerns about alimony for the receiving spouses is whether they will have enough money to live, with paying spouses having the opposite concern. In equitable distribution, clients often are concerned about whether they can keep the house, refinance the mortgage, and pay the bills.
