- DivorceIf you're able to reach in agreement as to the issues in dispute, your contested divorce will be converted to an uncontested divorce and the court will schedule a hearing to grant you a final judgment of divorce. Most people are eventually able to reach an agreement on their contested issues. The agreement can either be written as a separate document, commonly known as a property settlement agreement or marital settlement agreement, or the terms of your agreement can be inserted right into the final judgment of divorce granted by the judge.
- Child SupportChild support is calculated pursuant to the state child support guidelines. Both parents’ incomes and/or earning capacities are utilized to determine the child support obligations. Income for purposes of child support is not the same as income for tax purposes. The definition of income for purposes of support is broader than taxable income. While the support calculations are fairly straightforward, there are some situations that warrant a deviation. These may include items such as child care to enable one parent to work or the allocation of health insurance premiums.
