If you accumulated property during your marriage, you will want to divide it. Marital property may include retirement and pension benefits as well as the family home and cars. In theory, each spouse should receive one-half of the net community estate. In practice, it can be difficult figuring out what that is and how it should be paid. The Cosenza Law Firm can help you identify community property and debts and divide them in a way that is fair.

FAQs
Is adoption a long process?
Each adopted child has different circumstances. There are several types of adoptions that could take place, including a stepparent adoption, a private adoption or a standard adoption. Each has its own specific challenges. With the help of my firm, we will speed the process through the system as quickly as we can so that you can begin your new family and move forward with starting life together.
How will custody of my child be decided?
It is possible for you and your spouse to come to a decision regarding child custody without the court intervening. However, if you and your spouse cannot come to a custody terms agreement, the court will decide for you, and will look at the following:the child's gender and age;the child's mental and physical health;the child's relationship with each parent;the parents' respective lifestyles;each parent's ability to provide basic necessities for the child, including shelter, food, and clothing; andthe child's preference (if they are of a certain age).
How will child support be calculated?
Child support is calculated differently depending on the state one resides in, but the general factors taken into consideration by the court when calculating payments include:the standard of living of the child prior to the divorce;the ability to pay of the parent giving child support;the specific needs of the child, including their food, clothing, and educational costs; andthe needs and income of the custodial parent (the parent with primary custody of the child).
More detailed information is available on the FAQ page of our website.
