The holidays are fast approaching, which means family gatherings, vacations, and of course, the need to plan for logistics and sort out arrangements. For divorced or separated parents, this can be an especially stressful time. We thought this would be a good opportunity to go over a few set of tips to consider when navigating the upcoming holidays, especially if you’re dealing with an ex-spouse or complicated child custody arrangements.
At R & S Law Group, LLP, we advocate co-parenting as an effective option for families in transition. After all, the benefits of a continued, meaningful relationship with both parents are tremendous, and parents should always prioritize the well-being of their children above all else.
As we discussed in an earlier post, money is one of the biggest causes of conflicts and stress in a marriage. In fact, financial conflict is one of the leading causes of divorce across the nation. What many people don’t expect, however, is the possibility that these financial issues could follow them long after the divorce proceedings have concluded.
Cheating and infidelity are heartbreaking, and when people find out that their spouse has strayed, it can feel like their entire world has turned upside down. After all, the person whom they have trusted and cherished has actively chosen to betray them. Despite the pain that it is sure to bring, many victims of infidelity rightfully choose to walk away from their marriage.
Nobody deserves to endure this kind of betrayal from their partner, which is why many seek to start a new life once they catch wind of their partner’s actions. In these cases, we are often asked about how an affair or other acts of infidelity impacts divorce proceedings and asset/property division. To help address some of those concerns, this post examines California’s stance on divorce, as well as ways in which infidelity could potentially impact the process of dividing assets and debts.
Custody arrangements are tangled and confusing affairs for many, especially in light of California’s complex legal family law code. Nonetheless, the terms of your custody arrangement will impact every aspect of your life, as well as that of your loved ones, so it’s important that you stay in the loop and remain informed during every step of the way.
