Frequently Asked Questions
-
What types of family law issues can a divorce attorney help with?
A family law attorney can assist with divorce proceedings, child custody and visitation arrangements, child support calculations, spousal support (alimony), property division, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, modification of existing orders, and enforcement of court judgments.
-
What should I expect during the divorce process?
The divorce process typically begins with filing a petition and serving the other spouse. Then, there may be negotiation or mediation to resolve issues like custody, support, and property division. If agreements cannot be reached, hearings or a trial may be necessary. Your attorney will guide you through each step, explain your options, and help you make informed decisions.
-
How is child custody decided in a divorce?
Custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered may include the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s needs, and the stability of the home environment. Custody can be legal (decision‑making authority), physical (where the child lives), or a combination of both.
-
Can I request spousal support, and how is the amount determined?
You can request spousal support in a divorce, and the amount awarded depends on factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, contributions to the marriage, and the financial needs of each spouse. Courts aim to balance financial equity and ensure both parties can maintain a reasonable standard of living.
-
What can I do if my ex‑spouse is not following custody or support orders?
If your ex‑spouse fails to comply with custody, visitation, or support orders, you can seek legal enforcement. Your attorney can help file a motion with the court to enforce the order or request modifications if circumstances have changed. The court can impose penalties or changes to ensure compliance.
