- Child custody and visitation: We will help forge a settlement agreement between the parties of where the child will live, visitation rights, schooling, and who will make decisions about the child.
- Child support: Child support is for the needs of the Child. This is based on guidelines that factors in the income of both parents and the cost of living.
- Modifications to divorce decrees: There are times divorce agreements need to be modified. If one parent gets a higher income job, remarried or even wants to move out of state, there may be needs for a change in the decree.
- Spousal support (alimony): If there is a dependent spouse, support may be rewarded. It’s also known as maintenance. The award has several factors, including length of the marriage, the health of both parties, and the earning capacity of each party.
