Work With a Compassionate Family Law Attorney

Division of Marital Assets and Liabilities: Every married couple has assets that each partner brought into the marriage and assets that were acquired during the marriage. When getting divorced, the couple will have to decide who to divide those assets, including real estate property, bank accounts, investments, family-owned businesses, and more. The same goes for debts acquired during the marriage. A divorce attorney can help you and your ex-spouse determine how to do this fairly. If you are unable to reach an amicable agreement, Attorney Walters can represent you in litigation to protect your financial interests. 

Child Custody: Divorce becomes even more complicated when children are involved. You must decide who the child will primarily live with and how time will be split between each parent. It’s not uncommon for child custody disputes to turn into messy legal battles, so it’s important to have a good family law attorney on your side. Courts will choose what they believe to be in the best interest of the child, which requires you to provide evidence that supports your stance. 

Alimony/Spousal Support: When one spouse depends on the other financially and becomes accustomed to a certain standard of living, they may be able to request alimony to support them for a period of time after the divorce. Alimony is intended to help the dependent spouse adjust to supporting themselves. 

Child Support: The parent who maintains primary custody (meaning the child lives with them primarily), may request child support payments from the other parent to cover the costs of childcare.
