Is It Worth It To Find Fault In A Divorce?

Where would the tabloids (and media in general) be without cheating spouses? Fans rally around the victim and hope that offender gets what’s deserved in divorce court.

Colorado Legislature Currently Considering New Maintenance Guidelines for January 2014

Unlike child support, Colorado currently has no guidelines for maintenance where the annual gross combined income of the parties is over $75,000.00. This means if your family earns more than the $75,000.00 cap, then it is left to the discretion of the Judge as to what the maintenance award will be. However, due HB-13-1058, this may not be the case for much longer. Instead of the award being up to the Judge, HB-13-1058 provides a …

Does It Matter Who Files For Divorce First?

When speaking with new clients I am often asked: “Does it matter who files for divorce first?”- And my response is always: “absolutely not.” This is because in divorce cases the Court treats both parties equally. Thus, neither party gets an upper-hand by simply filling out the paper work first. Actually, depending on your case, it may be to your advantage to let your spouse file the Petition first. This is because the Petitioner usually ends up …

Making New Friends After A Divorce

When a marriage ends, there are often a lot of “I should have…” thoughts and conversations. “I should have seen it coming.” “I should have been more attentive.” And the list goes on. “Should” is a very dangerous word. You can’t separate it from its close cousin – the feeling of regret. “Regret” then brings its partners, “blame” and “fault”. These are friends you don’t need during a divorce. There’s enough regret, blame, and fault …

Character, Credibility & Social Media

Whether or not you prevail on an issue at trial is in part dependent on your character and credibility to the Judge. You’ll likely be dressed appropriately, I will advise you not to roll your eyes or heavy-sigh while listening to your exes’ testimony. You will put on the best show you are capable of for the Court. However, in this day and age, your credibility and character have already been documented—by you—long before trial. …

Longer Waiting Period for Divorce in North Carolina

Originally posted by John Clark/revised by Stephanie Fling Let’s be clear…making divorce more difficult does not make marriages happier.
