- Premarital AgreementA prenuptial agreement, also known as a prenup, is a contract between two people prior to getting married. The agreement can protect assets and provide guidelines in regard to issues that may arise should a marriage end in divorce. A postnuptial agreement offers the same protection as a prenup – the only difference is that a postnuptial agreement is created after the parties have been married.
- Spousal SupportAlimony, or spousal support/maintenance, is monetary support that one spouse may be required by law to pay to the other spouse when they divorce. The purpose of spousal maintenance is to help a spouse ultimately become self-sufficient after a divorce.
- Child AbuseCourts decide modification requests on a case-by-case basis and carefully assess each request. At the heart of a court’s decision is the child’s best interests. If a modification would not be in the child’s best interests, it is unlikely that the court would approve it.
