Resolving Divorce Issues in Plainfield

Since every divorce case is different, we can help you tailor a strategy that will meet your particular requirements. We can address the various issues that may arise during the divorce process, including:

• Types of divorce - Depending on the level of conflict between you and your spouse and your ability to cooperate with each other, your divorce may be contested or uncontested. You can work together to create a divorce settlement using negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law, and if necessary, you can resolve any outstanding issues in the courtroom through divorce litigation.
• Property concerns - The division of marital property is one of the most significant aspects of your divorce, and the decisions made about assets such as investments, retirement accounts and pensions, and real estate property can affect your finances for years to come. Depending on the income you and your spouse earn, spousal maintenance may be awarded to ensure that the lesser-earning spouse can meet their needs following the divorce.
• Complex divorce - Some financial issues can make it more difficult to reach a divorce settlement, and in these cases, the assistance of accountants, appraisers, or other financial experts may be needed. We can work with these experts to address matters such as protection of professional practices, business valuation, or division of high-value assets. We can also address emotional issues or other concerns that have led to a high-conflict divorce.
• Child-related issues - As parents, you and your spouse will need to address how you will work together to share the responsibility of raising your children, and you will need to create schedules for the time your kids will spend with each of you. We can help you draft a parenting agreement that includes decisions about the allocation of parental responsibility, parenting time arrangements, and other child-related concerns. We can also ensure that your child support obligations are calculated correctly based on all relevant factors, and we can assist in addressing non-minor support to help pay for your children's college expenses.
• Post-decree enforcement and modifications - After the finalization of your divorce, we can work with you to ensure that your ex-spouse abides by their court-ordered requirements, including payment of child support or spousal support and adhering to your parenting time schedule. If you have experienced significant changes in your life, we can help you petition the court for a modification of your divorce decree.
