FAQs

Does it matter who files for divorce?

There are times when both parties engage in a race to the courthouse. There is no rule of thumb concerning who should file first. I prefer to be the moving party mainly because I am the first to get notices of any upcoming court hearings. That allows me to open up the discussions with the other side more rapidly than if we are sitting back waiting to be served with the paperwork. There are occasions when the turnaround time for hearings scheduled as a result of filing a divorce complaint is very short, and time is precious. If we have a client who is reluctant to file, there is certainly no harm in waiting, unless of course there are extenuating circumstances, such as if the spouse is draining bank accounts or has threatened to take the children out of the house. In that case, it is imperative that you contact us for an initial phone consultation immediately.

What are the benefits of getting a pre- or postnuptial agreement?

Although a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may not sound romantic, they go a long way toward protecting your rights. These documents identify your separate assets and determine how you will divide marital assets in a divorce. They can also minimize conflict between you and your spouse in the event of a divorce.

Is my spouse entitled to part of my business?

Whether your spouse is entitled to a portion of the business depends on how the business is held, the type of entity, and when the business itself was acquired. If it was acquired during the marriage and marital funds were used as part of the purchase or upkeep of the business, you can assert that the business is marital.

Who gets custody and what is joint custody?

There are two main types of child custody. The first is legal custody, which allows parents to make medical, educational and religious decisions. Physical custody is where the child lives. Joint custody is common for legal custody. The most commonly fought-for aspect of custody is regarding where the child will live and the percentage of time that each parent will receive. Relocating with a child is also a common source of disagreement.

What happens when one parent wants to relocate with a child?

If both parents agree to the relocation, they can mutually agree to adjust their custody schedule. If they do not, however, the relocating parent must petition the court to modify the existing custody arrangement to allow them to relocate.

You can find more answers to some of our most commonly asked questions on the FAQ page of our website.
