Things To Consider When Getting Divorce

A variety of issues need to be resolved when you are getting divorced. The first thing to consider is how to protect yourself and your rights without affecting the family unit more than necessary. Major divorce issues to consider include:

• Contested or uncontested: Contested ends up in court and adds a lot of stress and expense to the process. Uncontested means the parties agree to divorce and the process can proceed in a more collaborative manner.
• Child support: This is a calculation generally based on gross pay of both parents combined and how many children there are.
• Child custody: This is the legal right to have input in a child’s important life decisions.
• Dividing assets: This is an area of negotiation, particularly if there is a large portfolio of assets and/or a business.
• Alimony: This is quickly changing here in New Jersey. Contact us for the most up-to-date information.
