What is Divorce Law?

Divorce law governs the legal dissolution of a marriage. This can involve negotiating the division of assets, child custody, and spousal support. James Carter helps clients navigate the emotional and legal challenges of divorce, whether it is contested, uncontested, or involves high-conflict situations.

Types of Divorce:

• Uncontested Divorce: Both parties agree on key issues, making the process smoother and quicker.

• Contested Divorce: When spouses cannot agree, the court must intervene to resolve disputes.

• No-Fault Divorce: Neither party is required to prove wrongdoing, reducing the need for adversarial proceedings.

Key Issues in Divorce:

• Asset Division: Determining how to divide marital property, assets, and debts fairly.

• Spousal Support: Establishing financial support, often referred to as alimony, for the dependent spouse.

• Child Custody and Support: Deciding who will have custody of the children and the amount of financial support required.
