Divorce can be a serious adjustment. After all, you started your marriage with the idea that you would be with your partner forever, and when that doesn’t happen, it can be tough emotionally. This is also a legal partnership under the supervision of the state, meaning that when it is time to talk about uncoupling yourself, it is important to meet with a local family law attorney to talk about your next steps in moving on.
Here at Charles & Concilio, P.C., we understand your situation, and we have seen divorce before. Our team is here to help you understand your rights and your responsibilities during the vital discussions surrounding your family. From amicable (and not-so-friendly) divorces to the legal custody process, we provide effective legal counsel for our clients. If you are ready to talk about your next moves, call our office today to schedule an appointment.
Dividing Finances Can Be A Tough Thing to Understand
When you think about separating finances during a divorce, you might think that everything should be split evenly. And for a number of states, that is the intended goal. But here in our state, we do things a little differently, using a concept known as equitable distribution to work toward a fairer solution.
Equitable distribution refers to the process where the courts gauge the input of each family member to decide an appropriate distribution of wealth and debt. This can include a wide range of factors, including the length of the marriage and the reason for its dissolution. A judge can also look at the financial and familial input of both of you, all with the goal of finding the right pathway forward. Moving on during divorce can often entail some financial work to ensure that each of you is made whole.
Share A Child Together? Let’s Talk Legal Custody
If you and your spouse have had any children together, then there is someone else who relies on you two. Our court system wants to know that you can handle things on your own, and if not, then they will try to work out a solution for you. But you have the ability to negotiate with your former partner, and this can sometimes make a real difference.
Parenting plans are signed agreements from both parents that outline the rights and responsibilities of the parents. These are legally binding once they have been approved by a judge, and they can stipulate a wide variety of things, including healthcare decisions and religious upbringing.
