Divorce

If you are contemplating divorce there are a few things that you will want to consider. The legal and emotional aspects of divorce often collide. Therefore, it is important to be properly informed on the reality of a divorce process.

The legal issues are usually straight forward. Divorces look at Children with the two aspects of custody. There is legal custody where the custodian makes choices for a child. Legal custody is typically shared by both parents. Then there is physical custody with visitation. In today’s legal climate there are many ways to handle these two matters. It is important to realize that the emotional stigma of “custody” is often misplaced and can create litigation.

Next is the issue of Alimony and the Division of assets. Primarily this concern is for those couples that have amassed some asset and have had a marriage that’s been longer than six years. An issue that is often debated is based on the length of the marriage and how each party may have a stronger claim over a particular asset of the marriage. In Massachusetts there is no bright line rule as to which way the property will be distributed. In stead the law requires a “fair and equitable” division of assets. Obviously, if you’re a couple with more debts than assets this works in the reverse. Then the question becomes who will be responsible for certain debts.
