Children and Divorce

Unless addressed with care, child custody and visitation issues are often the most problematic during a divorce. Circumstances change in the years following a divorce. Agreements, court orders, or other custody arrangements can become unworkable as the family evolves and the children get older.

I'll help get the best results for you and your children now, and set the stage for any future changes to divorce arrangements that may come up as the years go by.

Will a Divorce Force the Sale of the House?

The family home is symbol of the marriage and its status in a divorce is based on many factors. But a divorce doesn't necessarily force its sale. This is a complicated question that involves equity, earnings, mortgage payment amounts, and agreements you and your spouse make during the divorce. A new option is a loan modification, which may help reduce the mortgage payments and help you keep the house.

Let me work with you and your spouse to establish agreement and build trust, which will improve your choices regarding the home.

How Will a Divorce Impact My Taxes?

Your taxes will naturally be changed by a divorce and I can help you estimate the impact. For example, only one party can claim children on their tax return and claim the Child Tax Credit.

However if the kids spend the same amount of time with both parents, then it is probably more beneficial for tax purposes for the parent with the higher income to claim the children, therefore clearing more income for support. This is another area in which professional assistance is recommended. Call me — I can help.

How My Firm Is Different

The marital separation process can be emotionally and financially difficult. I provide a five-point guarantee in every dissolution case I handle. This can give you confidence, peace of mind, and the knowledge that we are committed to helping you reach a better life after divorce — guaranteed.
