Americans are constantly being bombarded with information designed to help them to be happy. Very little comes close to being struck with Cupid’s arrow. A couple may decide to take the plunge and get married.

Unfortunately, love does not always last, and many marriages end in divorce. Usually, there are children involved.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements.
The parties may consider the family law legal implications even before the wedding day. Prenuptial agreements may be drawn up regarding finances and support issues, especially if one of the couple owns considerable real estate and/or personal property.
A Post-Nuptial Agreement (after the wedding) may be drawn up, if no Pre-Nuptial Agreement exists.
For example, the family law legal document will reference real and personal property owned by each party, and will describe which of the property is to be separate. It will state that one or both parties will give up rights in certain property owned by the other.

Divorce.
The fact is, the statistics show there is a strong likelihood that a married couple may decide to divorce.
Various issues arise when a Divorce Petition is filed, including some or all of the following:

Spousal Support
Child Support.
Child Custody and Visitation.
Division of Property.

You may be tempted to represent yourself in a family law matter. Do not succumb to this temptation. Invest in an attorney who will take on the task, prepare the necessary documents properly, including a Settlement Agreement, and give you peace of mind knowing that the legal work is in the hands of a professional.
