Family Law Areas of Practice
A critical part of any divorce is hashing out asset division, property division and debt division. If you don't have any assets or property, then this part of the process is rather simple. In all divorces it will be necessary to be completely forthright about your income and your financial records.
If you have a significant amount of assets, or if you have children, then the process will be more involved. For couples with minor children, they will have to agree on child custody and visitation. Usually the parent who doesn't have physical custody is the one that pays child support to the custodial parent; however, there are variations to child custody arrangements that can have an impact on child support.
