A divorce is one of the most difficult experiences in a person's life.
Although no one enters a marriage anticipating it will end in divorce, situations change and couples grow apart.
While divorce may be the best option, it can still be an overwhelming process.
Divorce becomes even more complex when children are involved or when the marriage involves high income or valuable assets.
In a divorce proceeding, spouses tend to have different ideas regarding alimony, alimony pendente lite ("APL")/spousal support, child support, child custody, and how to fairly allocate their assets and liabilities.

Resolving issues related to child custody and visitation is often the most disputed process in divorce proceedings.
When children are involved, the custodial schedule can vary greatly depending on the relationship between the parents.
At times, one parent may request unreasonable custody arrangements.
The family law attorneys at Sweeney & Neary, LLP provide a voice of reason during these difficult times by working with our clients to ensure that all decisions are focused upon the best interests of their children.

In most divorce or separation cases, it is necessary for one parent to provide financial support to the other parent, which is the result of one of two scenarios.
1 One parent earns significantly more than the other parent and the parties have shared physical custody of the child/children.
Or, 2 one parent has primary physical custody of the children and the other parent has partial physical custody.
Regardless of the situation, it is extremely important to remember that it is a child's right (not a parent's right) to receive appropriate child support.

One of the biggest concerns when contemplating a divorce is the fact that you will now be supporting two households on the same income, or incomes that previously supported one household.
Regardless of the situation you were in before the divorce/separation, dual or single income family, at Sweeney & Neary we have the knowledge, experience and skill-set to help you navigate this difficult aspect of your new life, whether you are the obligor (the spouse paying support) or the obligee (the spouse receiving support).

When possible, it is always preferable to discuss an amicable resolution and settlement of all ancillary financial claims relevant to a divorce.
A marital settlement agreement (also known as a "property settlement agreement") is a written agreement that provides the parties with an efficient means to resolving the issues of a divorce proceeding, such as the division of marital assets and liabilities, alimony, APL/support payments, child support, legal fees and other rights.
Similar to prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, marital settlement agreements are considered to be final and binding upon the spouses and should be thoroughly discussed, negotiated and reviewed.
