Divorce

There are a lot of things to consider when separating two lives apart. Primary concerns are marital property, such as assets and debts like a homes, cars, and retirement plans, and crafting a parenting plan. A parenting plan dictates how custody of any children will be shared amongst the parents throughout the year, child support will be calculated, and rules for school activities, major holidays, and vacations will be established.

Child Custody & Support

Similar to part of a divorce, a parenting plan and child support can be created between two people who are not married.  All parenting plans, from a divorce or otherwise, can be modified if the correct conditions are met. Often, these changes are needed from a change in circumstances, like a parent moving or changing jobs. Other times, there are more serious issues involved, such as child abuse or neglect. Regardless of the reason, the child or children come first.

Wills, Deeds, and Other Documents

Some things are hard to think about and plan for—the future and your own mortality is certainly one of them. A will or a trust can answer future questions before they are asked, relieving a burden from family. Most wills, deeds, and trusts are simple and the documents themselves can be completed within a week of your attorney having all of the requisite information. Some, however, will take more time to carefully craft necessary nuance to make sure nothing is left undone.
