Understanding Divorce and Family Matters
Divorce Matters
Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. While it marks the end of a marital relationship, it also involves addressing critical aspects such as:
- Child Custody and Visitation Rights
- Determining who will have custody of the child and the visitation arrangements for the non-custodial parent.
- Alimony/Maintenance
- Financial support provided by one spouse to the other to ensure financial stability post-divorce.
- Division of Assets
- Equitably distributing marital property and financial assets.
- Mutual Consent vs. Contested Divorce
- Mutual Consent Divorce: Both spouses agree to dissolve the marriage amicably.
- Contested Divorce: One spouse initiates the divorce without the other's consent, often leading to litigation.
Family Matters
Family law encompasses a broad range of legal issues beyond divorce, including:
- Child Custody and Support
- Ensuring the child's welfare is the top priority while addressing custody and financial support obligations.
