In the vast majority of cases, the absolute divorce is the most simple and straight forward part of the case.
While the absolute divorce is usually very simple, it can have a major impact on other causes of action, such as post separation support, alimony and equitable distribution.
The right to bring these claims terminates on the entry of an absolute divorce unless the claims have already been filed.
If you have been served with a petition for an absolute divorce and have not resolved all the other issues in your case, contact an experienced divorce attorney immediately.

Most domestic disputes resolve via a written agreement, which is generally seen as preferable to litigation.
Some of these agreements are drafted with both parties in full agreement as to most if not all of the material terms.
Some are drafted are long and grueling negotiations, with nearly every material term being a hard-fought compromise.
Finally, a surprising number are drafted in the hallways of the courthouse, immediately before the parties are to litigate a particular issue, with many of those consisting of handwritten provisions drafted by one or both of the attorneys.

In our humble opinion, alimony is the wild west of family law and is in need of significant statutory reform.
Statutes and case law offer little guidance at all as to how much alimony to award and for how long.
In addition to being left primarily to the discretion of the trial court, Alimony is also one of the most difficult parts of a case to settle for emotional reasons.
The payor of alimony (the one making the payment) is often furious at the idea of sending monthly checks to his or her former spouse for years or even decades after the parties have separated.

Child support is more than just a formula from an online calculator.
This critical support mechanism is vital to ensure that each parent or guardian is paying his or her fair share for the child and to make sure the health, safety and well-being of the minor child is being protected.
We focus on establishing actual incomes, determining unique and extraordinary expenses for the child, and making sure the support is accurate.
Getting the correct support amount usually means working to determine each party's actual income, which can be challenging based on the manner in which each party makes a living.
