As a lawyer, as a private citizen, you see a lot of injustice. You see a lot of people who should have been punished and are not, and people who were punished wrongfully are not vindicated.
Litigation is the formal process of resolving disputes through the court system when parties cannot reach an agreement on their own. It includes filing legal documents, attending hearings, and potentially going to trial. Litigation is often a last resort when negotiation or mediation fails.
Divorce legally ends a marriage and involves several steps, including filing a petition, serving papers, and resolving issues like division of property, spousal support, child custody, and visitation. Courts aim to ensure fair outcomes based on state laws and the best interests of any children involved.
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is financial assistance paid by one spouse to the other after separation or divorce. The amount and duration depend on factors like the length of marriage, each spouse’s income, and their financial needs. Alimony is intended to help maintain a similar standard of living post-divorce.
Family law agreements include prenuptial, postnuptial, separation, and marital settlement agreements. These legally binding contracts clarify financial rights, asset division, and parenting responsibilities. They help reduce conflict by setting clear expectations and can be enforced by courts if necessary.
Child support is money paid by the non-custodial parent to contribute to a child’s upbringing. It covers essentials like food, clothing, education, and healthcare. The amount is usually determined by state guidelines based on parents’ income and the child’s needs, and is subject to modification if circumstances change.
When couples separate, deciding who keeps the family pet can be complex. Courts increasingly consider pets as family members and may include custody arrangements in divorce or separation agreements. Parties often negotiate visitation schedules or shared care to ensure the pet’s well-being.
