Divorce is challenging for everyone involved, even the family attorney, but child custody issues are possibly the most stressful aspects of an ending marriage. There is little more trying – emotionally and mentally – than settling a custody dispute. Ultimately, if the parents cannot agree on an arrangement, then the courts will deliver a ruling based on the child’s “best interests.”

Few people enter marriages with divorce in mind. They believe wholeheartedly in their “happily-ever-after,” but life has a tendency to throw obstacles at couples. If you and your spouse cannot overcome them together, then it may be time to consult a family lawyer.
Children have a tendency to say the oddest comments, but when they relay negative statements that your ex said about you, there may be a greater issue at hand. Hearing curse words, negativity and accusations from your ex is bad enough, but when your children deliver them, it puts your young ones in the middle of the controversy. PsyCare warns that such behavior could even lead to parental alienation, and you may need to discuss this problem with your family attorney.

It’s no secret that divorce is mentally and emotionally draining, but the process continues long after the marriage ends. In addition to adjusting to a single income and possibly relocating, there are several documents that you will need to update. A divorce attorney help you make this transition and protect your financial interests.

It is generally acknowledged, and a lot of people learn from experience, that during a divorce, people may focus mainly on their children and their financial assets. What divorcing couples may not be thinking about, but perhaps should be, is how divorce will impact the futures of your loved ones–even after you’ve died. That’s why I believe that the time to consider making legal changes to a will, or trust, or other testamentary document, should follow your careful consideration to file for a divorce. Because these vital documents also affect people’s lives going forward – just like a divorce does.
It isn’t a “given” that every married person has named his/her spouse in every aspect of a will. Also, it isn’t necessarily true that divorcing spouses will want to remove their ex-spouse from a will or trust. Somewhere in between, however, exists the possibility that you may want to change some important legal designations of the people you want to undertake certain responsibilities during your lifetime, or after your death. Here are just a few examples of things that, following a divorce, you may want to consider changing.
At Zachary Law Group, we offer estate planning services from experienced attorneys. We also handle family law issues such as divorce. So if you are dealing with either, or both, of these landmark life events, please turn to us for help and guidance.
