Experienced Guidance for a Smooth Divorce Process

Nobody goes into a marriage expecting to get divorced, but when a relationship falls apart, a couple's intentions or their attitudes toward marriage are no longer a primary issue. Instead, the focus will be on ending the marriage in a way that will allow both spouses to move forward successfully. Unfortunately, this is often easier said than done. The emotions involved in a divorce, along with the stress of making major changes in a family's life, can make the process difficult, and conflict between spouses can aggravate the situation. To make sure matters will be handled correctly during the divorce process, it is crucial to work with a skilled and experienced attorney.

Assisting With Issues Related to Your Finances and Property

Some of the most consequential issues to address during your divorce will be related to your family's finances. In addition to making sure you will be able to support yourself using the income you earn, you will also need to determine how to divide your marital property in a way that will provide you with the resources you need after separating from your spouse.

The Ramage Law Group can help you determine the best approach to take as you address different types of property, including:

• Financial accounts
• Real estate
• Vehicles
• Furniture and other personal property
• Jewelry or other valuables
• Business interests
• Retirement accounts and/or pension benefits
• Joint debts, including loans and credit cards

We can also help you understand whether spousal support may be a factor in your divorce. This form of support, which is also known as alimony or spousal maintenance, will only be appropriate in certain situations, such as if you have been married for at least 10 years and either you or your spouse will be at a financial disadvantage following your divorce. We can help you determine whether you may be able to request ongoing support from your spouse or whether you may be required to pay support following your divorce. If spousal maintenance will be an issue in your case, we can ensure that all factors will be properly considered so that you will have the means to meet your ongoing needs after completing the divorce process.

Resolving Concerns Related to Child Custody

If you and your spouse have children, there will be a variety of issues that will need to be addressed during the divorce process as you determine how the two of you will be able to work together as co-parents going forward. Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, you and your spouse will most likely be required to share custody. When legal custody is shared, this is known as joint managing conservatorship, and the two of you will be required to work together to make decisions about your children's lives. We can help you negotiate an agreement that will protect your right to be involved in important decisions about your children's future.

We can also help you determine how physical custody of your children will be handled. This will determine whether your children will live primarily with you or your spouse and when they will spend time with each of you during the school year and on vacation days and holidays. The decisions made about physical custody will affect the child support you pay or receive, and we can help you make sure your children's needs are being provided for at all times.
