Chart Your Future Post-Divorce Through Skillful Legal Counsel

The pathway to and beyond divorce is different for everyone. You may have reached this end of your married relationship after months or years of growing apart from your spouse, or it may have come as a shock for any number of reasons. The legal aspects of obtaining a divorce may feel like a nuisance or an emergency, depending on your point of view. Wells Peyton Partain Baldo & Lighty, LLP, is a valuable resource, no matter what your unique circumstances are.

Whatever the case, you can expect your divorce to have a significant impact on your future, especially:

• Financially: What property will you keep? Will you be responsible for selling the marital home? Will your retirement accounts remain intact? Will you be required to provide health insurance for your soon-to-be former spouse and/or your minor children? Will you pay or receive child support? Will you be on the hook for spousal support or might you receive spousal support?
• Family-wise: If you and your husband or wife (en route to divorce) share one or more minor children, where will the children live? Who will have the legal right to enroll them in school, take them to the doctor and make other key decisions in their lives? What family dynamics do you hope for over time, such as at your child’s future celebrations like high school graduation?
