Trusted Divorce Attorneys for the Most Challenging Cases

In your divorce, there will be a number of issues that you and your spouse must address, including the division of your marital property and debts, as well as considerations for spousal maintenance. If you and your spouse have children together, you must also decide how parental responsibilities (child custody) and parenting time (visitation) will be allocated. Child support will most likely be a concern also. Depending on how well you and your spouse get along and communicate, you might be able to negotiate an amicable divorce settlement.
