How are marital issues resolved during divorce?

During the process of divorce, marital issues need to be resolved. These issues are vital to the official divorce of the couple. Once these issues are decided on, they can be claimed to be officially divorced. Sometimes decisions on marital issues are not easy. Couples may be highly emotional due to the breakdown of their marriage. They may even be worried about the outcome of these issues, especially if children are involved in the scenario. When a couple enters into an uncontested divorce, they can talk about these issues in mediation sessions and have the power to make decisions for themselves. In comparison, if they are unable to cooperate with one another, they can go to court where a judge will make decisions for them. Although this does not give them as much power, it may prove to be the only way that decisions are being made. During mediation, a mediator can only help so much. If the spouses are not committed to working together toward fair decisions, litigation may be the only way to get closure. A judge will consider many factors for each issue that relate to that issues and the effects it can have.

Can changes be made?

Marital issues are an important part of the divorce process that needs to be considered. These issues include the division of assets, alimony, child support and child custody arrangements. Whether these issues are spoken about during mediation or in litigation, they can be changed later on in the future to better fit the changing circumstances surrounding the spouses. No one knows what the future holds. That is why it is so important that changes be made to these issues. If a change in the future directly relates to a marital issue, it may be necessary to modify the agreement that was made for that marital issue. Spouses will continue with their lives separately from one another, leading to many changes that can affect the original agreements they made for marital issues. If a spouse decides to live with another significant other in the future, they may not be eligible to receive alimony payments anymore. Another example can be the relocation of a spouse, which may cause for a change to custody arrangements.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
