What Are The Most Common Issues in Divorce?
In a divorce involving children, the four most common issues that must be addressed are:
- Divorce planning and strategy: We can help you understand your options and make informed decisions about the legal, financial, and personal aspects of your divorce, including property division, spousal support, child custody, and visitation.
- Divorce mediation and collaborative law: We can assist you in exploring alternative dispute resolution methods that can save you time, money, and stress, while promoting mutual respect and cooperation between you and your spouse.
- Divorce litigation and trial: We can represent you in court and aggressively advocate for your rights and interests, using our litigation skills and knowledge of family law to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
- Child custody and parenting time: If you have minor children, your challenge will often be about ends up with physical custody of the child(ren) and when. Child custody also involves your ability to make major decisions about your child’s education, religious upbringing, medical treatment, etc.
- Child support: This issue is calculated by a state of California formula and is mostly straightforward, but the courts can be persuaded, when necessary, to make adjustments based on the income of each parent and the associated parenting time schedule.
- Property division: Both assets and debts must be fully disclosed (sometimes uncovered and identified) and then divided equitably between each spouse. Property division includes the marital home, real estate, motor vehicles, investments such as stocks and bonds, pensions and retirement accounts, personal property, and any business interests. Debts are divided as well and often include mortgages, credit card debts, student loans, medical bills and the like.
- Spousal support: When a couple divorces, the court may order the spouse with greater income to pay the other spouse a certain amount of support per month. Unlike child support, spousal support is determined on a case-by-case basis by the court. A number of factors are considered in the court’s decision such as length of the marriage, income and earning potential of each spouse, standard of living during the marriage, age and health of each spouse, contributions made by each spouse to the marriage and any prenuptual agreements.
