Divorce proceedings usually involve disputes over many different issues, some of them are more contentious than others.
The four main issues that normally cause the most disputes when it comes to divorce proceedings are:
Child Support – child support is oftne times a highly contentious issue surrounding a divorce settlement. The amount of child support the courts may demand a parent to pay can be complicated to calculate, and may involve disputes over a parent’s income or a child’s reasonable needs.
Custody and Parenting Time – this is also often times a contentious aspect of a divorce—who gets primary custody of the children and how much access the other spouse is fiven to those children.
Property Division – what are the values of the property and assets, who gets what property that was attained during the marriage or increased in value during the life of the marriage. These issues can include real estate, material possessions, accumulated assets, pets, and more.
Spousal Maintenance – also know as alimony in other states, this is an amount of monetary supplementation one spouse pays to the other upon divorce when one spouse is unable to meet his or her reasonable needs on her own, after dividing assets and debt.
