Separation & Divorce
Report
Unfortunately recent statistics show that more than half of first marriages end in divorce within the first 10 years. Statistics are higher for second marriages.
While no one plans to get a divorce and often great effort is given to avoid it, unfortunately there are those circumstances where divorce is inevitable and may be even necessary to get out of an unsafe or unhealthy relationship where there is domestic violence, substance abuse, mental or psychological abuse.As a result, governments nationwide have responded by setting up specialized courts to fairly and efficiently deal with family law matters.

Separation Agreements
Report
Often the best way to resolve the issues arising from a separation and divorce is through a contract called a "Separation Agreement" or if it is a comprehensive document resolving all marital property issues: a "Separation and Property Settlement Agreement."
The terms of the Agreement can cover everything from child custody, child support, spousal support, division of property and debts, tax issues and miscellaneous issues such as life or medical insurance.Sometimes spouses can negotiate all or part of these terms between them and have an attorney simply draft the terms into a formal contract.
