Divorce

There are many diverse issues that must be dealt with in the event of a divorce. It is not just the end of a marital relationship; it is also the dissolution of a financial partnership.

A divorce attorney must be able to skillfully resolve the following issues:

Division of property and marital assets
Spousal support
Custody and child support

It takes a wealth of skills in all of these areas to successfully construct a divorce agreement. Your divorce attorney must not only possess all of these skills, he must also be compassionate and understanding so that he can ensure that the settlement addresses all of the needs of you and your children.

At Stipe Law, we make every effort to settle divorce cases whenever possible to avoid the financial cost and emotional trauma of litigation. However, we have the background, skills, and resources to take your case to trial if necessary. It is our goal to provide you with a divorce settlement that will reflect your individual needs and help you move on with your life as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Custody and Child Support

For people with children, settling issues of custody and child support is the most critical aspect of the divorce.

The key factor in the decision of custody is what is in the best interest of the child. The court will generally assign custody to the parent that will provide your children with the most support, guidance, and nurturing environment on a daily basis. However, a custody agreement needs to strike an appropriate balance for the benefit of the child so that the non-custodial parent can still have a meaningful impact on the child’s life.

There are several important financial provisions that must accompany a custody agreement. The following expenses are examined when determining child support:

Daily living expenses
Medical insurance
Life insurance
Educational expenses (including college)
Religious training (if necessary)
Extracurricular activities

Child support is determined by each spouse’s ability to earn a living. Factors such as educational background, work experience, and earning capacity are all considered in this process.
