Frequently asked questions

How is property divided in divorce?
It depends on your state — community property states split marital assets 50/50, while equitable distribution states divide fairly but not necessarily equally.
How is child custody decided?
Courts decide based on the child's best interests, considering stability, parental involvement, and the child's wishes at a certain age.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
Even uncontested divorces benefit from legal review to make sure the agreement is fair and enforceable.
