Legal protection for your family in its most important moments

Divorce can be uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce means a written agreement on custody, support, and property division. A contested case is filed when spouses can't reach an agreement - the court then decides every disputed issue.

Courts always decide based on the best interest of the child. Factors include the child's age, emotional bond with each parent, living situation, and the child's own wishes if old enough to express them. Joint custody is possible by agreement.

Child support is set based on the child's needs and the paying parent's ability to pay. The court considers income, assets, and overall circumstances. The amount can be modified later if either parent's circumstances change substantially.
