Divorce Law Guide
Untitled Document

Divorce is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse, which can be contrasted with an annulment which is a declaration that a marriage is void, as if it never occured. As one might expect, significant legal issues arise during a divorce, including the relationship with the children of the marriage, the division of property and assets, and even the operation of underlying businesses and corporations.

Child Custody and Child Support              
Parents who are contemplating divorce often have many concerns about who will have custody of the children and how the costs of raising them will be divided. Even when a divorce is "friendly," each parent is advised to seek out his or her own lawyer to be sure their rights and those of the children are protected. Traditionally, individual states have regulated family law matters, such as marriage, divorce, or child custody. Over the past two decades, however, there has been a trend for states to adopt uniform laws governing child custody and support to reduce the amount of variance from state to state. While the following information offers an overview of child custody and support guidelines, a lawyer can explain the specific laws of your state. Topics include: Deciding factors in awarding child custody; Issues surrounding visitation; Setting guidelines for child support; Adjusting child custody arrangements or the amount of child support
