After Divorce: Custody of Your Child

Along with assets and properties, the custody for your child can be equally divided, especially if your child is very young. Having separated parents can greatly affect your kid when growing up, especially if he or she grew away from one parent. Divorce will give you freedom from each other, but that does not mean one party should forget his or her responsibilities as a parent, and if both of you have reached upon an agreement, then joint custody could work for both of you.

Crunching the Alimony Numbers

When married couples in Florida go for divorce, the alimony payments are one of the things to account for in the overall settlement plan. Under 2014 Florida Statutes Title VI Chapter 61, the court is empowered to grant alimony to either side as a lumpsum or as a monthly payment; even then, determining the final amount presents a major challenge. You will need a divorce attorney from Orlando to fully craft the data and argue the amount’s viability before the court.

To determine the need for alimony, the requesting side should elaborate various factors before the court. These include the petitioner’s educational background, livelihood, age, health, the duration of the marriage, and the standard of living he or she enjoyed during the marriage.
