The
longer you have been married, the
more issues you are likely to need
to resolve. Conversely, if you haven't
been married very long, you may
not have any issues to work out. If
you can answer yes to each of the
following questions, you should
be able to obtain a divorce simply
by signing the necessary paperwork.
1. Does each person have in his
or her possession the personal property
(clothes, furniture, appliances,
etc.) he or she is going to receive?
2. If you have outstanding
debts (credit cards, loans, etc.),
have you decided who is going to
pay which bills?
3. If you have minor children,
have you decided who the kids are
going to live with and how much
child support will be paid to the
custodial parent for the kids? (please
check the child support formulator
for an approximation of the child
support obligation)
4. Will both parties sign
the papers? This is the key
to an uncontested divorce.
If you know that your spouse is
not going to agree to something
or anything and is not going to
sign anything, you can still obtain
a divorce, but you will have to
go to court. Call me to discuss
your options.
