- Child SupportThis financial aid helps the custodial parent cover living expenses, food, insurance, and any general needs of the child. Child support may also provide a way for non-custodial parents to pay for extra fees for the child’s activities or healthcare.

- Premarital AgreementThat’s why some couples take the precautionary steps of drafting agreements in advance to help govern a potential split. A prenuptial agreement (or “prenup†as it is colloquially called) is one example. A postnuptial agreement is another. As the name of these marital agreements implies, the former is signed before the wedding, the latter takes place after the couple is married.
- Spousal SupportWhen you are getting a divorce from your spouse, there are a number of different subjects that often come up in arguments.
