FAQ about Aeschleman Law: Divorce & Family Law Attorneys
What is the cost of a divorce?
The cost of a divorce can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the number of assets involved, and whether there are children. Our firm offers competitive rates and can provide a cost estimate during your initial consultation.
How long does a divorce typically take?
The length of a divorce depends on several factors, including the level of agreement between the spouses, the complexity of the case, and the court’s schedule. Uncontested divorces can be completed in as little as a few months, while more complex cases may take a year or longer.
What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?
Legal separation and divorce are both legal processes that terminate a marriage. However, legal separation does not dissolve the marriage, while divorce ends it completely. Spouses who are legally separated are still legally married but live apart and have their own separate finances.
What is child custody?
Child custody refers to the legal responsibility for making decisions about a child’s upbringing, such as where the child lives, goes to school, and receives medical care. Custody can be sole (one parent has all the decision-making power) or joint (both parents share decision-making).
What is child support?
Child support is a legal obligation for parents to financially support their children. The amount of support is determined by a variety of factors, including the parents’ incomes, the child’s needs, and the number of children involved.
Do I need a lawyer to get a divorce?
While it is not legally required to have a lawyer to get a divorce, it is highly recommended. A divorce lawyer can help you navigate the legal process, protect your rights, and ensure that your interests are represented.
What if my spouse refuses to cooperate with the divorce?
Even if your spouse refuses to cooperate, you can still file for divorce. However, uncooperative spouses can make the process more difficult and time-consuming. Our firm has experience dealing with uncooperative spouses and will work to protect your interests.
What should I do if I am being abused by my spouse?
If you are being abused by your spouse, it is important to seek help immediately. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673. You can also file for a protective order to prevent your spouse from harming you or your children.
What are my rights as a grandparent?
Grandparents have certain rights to visitation and custody of their grandchildren. These rights vary by state and depend on factors such as the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren, the parents’ wishes, and the child’s best interests.
Can I modify a divorce decree?
Divorce decrees can be modified in certain circumstances, such as if there has been a significant change in the circumstances of the parties involved, such as a change in income or custody arrangements. It is important to consult with an attorney to determine if you are eligible to modify your divorce decree.
