Divorce Issues in Glen Ellyn
Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, you will need to address all of the legal and financial concerns involved in dissolving your marriage. These may include:
- Property division - The assets that you and your spouse own together will need to be equitably divided between the two of you. Equitable does not always mean equal. It is supposed to equate to fair. You may need to address ownership of your family home, joint bank accounts, a family business or professional practice, or retirement funds and pensions.
- Spousal support/maintenance - Depending on the income earned by both spouses and the length of the marriage, financial support may be awarded to allow a divorced spouse to meet their needs and become self-supporting.
- Allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time - Decisions about how you and your ex-spouse will work together to raise your children and the amount of time your children will spend with each of you will be based on what is in the children's best interests.
- Child relocation - A custodial parent who wishes to move to a new location may need to receive court approval, depending on the distance of the move.
- High net worth divorce - Because the median household income in Glen Ellyn is above the national average, you may need to determine how to protect your family's wealth during divorce and resolve financial matters such as tax issues and the division of trusts and estates.
- Complex divorce - Corporate officers, entrepreneurs, or celebrities may need to address a variety of unique concerns during divorce. However, anyone may experience issues that can complicate the divorce process, including hidden assets, health issues, or separation from a narcissistic spouse.
- Grey divorce - If you are planning to get divorced when over the age of 50 or after retirement, you will want to make sure you will have the financial resources to support yourself throughout the rest of your life.
- Post-divorce enforcement and appeals - Following your divorce, you may need to take legal action to make sure your ex-spouse meets their court-ordered obligations, or you may need to appeal a judge's decision(s) if you do not agree with the end result or if legal errors arose during your case.
