AREAS OF PRACTICE IN FAMILY LAW
Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce)
Four major issues in a Dissolution are:
- 1. Parenting Plan (child custody and residential schedule of visitation)
2. Child Support (including day care, health insurance, college expenses and other child-related costs)
3. Spousal Maintenance (formerly known as alimony)
4. Division of Property and Debt (can involve valuation of businesses and real estate)
Legal Separations are very similar to a Dissolution action, except that the couple remains married at the end of the proceedings. This option may appeal to those with certain religious or personal convictions about divorce, as well as those who may desire to provide their spouse with continuing health insurance benefits. All Property and Debt, Spousal Maintenance and children’s issues are addressed in Legal Separations in basically the same way as they are in Dissolution cases (see above).
