Questions to Consider in Divorce

Panama City Divorce Lawyer

Dissolution of marriage, commonly referred to as divorce, breaks the legal bonds between husband and wife and provides a framework for the care and support of spouses and children, if any.

An uncontested divorce may be a simple negotiation, if a couple can agree on an equitable division of property and assets. Severing the bonds of marriage, however, nearly always creates unexpected complications. When lives of children are at stake, child custody, support, and visitation add to the conflicts over a family's life-changing decisions. Divorce proceedings become even more complex, when substantial assets, properties, or a closely-held business are part of the picture. Along with legal and financial aspects, there may also be tax ramifications. Business transactions, which require not only the skill and know-how of an experienced family law attorney, may also require resources of other professionals like accountants, business valuators, and appraisers.

At the Law Office of Richard C. Trollope, we are experienced in handling all aspects of both simple and complex divorces. We understand the powerful emotions underlying divorce. While issues surrounding divorce may become contentious, we work in the most cooperative and amiable manner possible. We provide a secure and confidential setting as we help you navigate through your divorce settlement process and strive to minimize the negative impact on your family.

Questions to Consider When Dissolving a Marriage

When a marriage is going to be dissolved legally, a number of issues surface. Beyond the emotional strife that may be experienced, an individual considering a divorce will have to deal with questions such as:

  • How will living arrangements change - for me, my spouse, and our children?
  • Should I leave the marital home?
  • How will we divide our incomes and assets?
  • Do I need spousal support? Or, will I have to pay spousal support?
  • What about our joint debts? Our joint credit cards and bank accounts?
  • I suspect that my spouse is hiding assets; what can I do?
  • What are the tax consequences of getting divorced?
  • My spouse is abusive; what are my rights?
  • Can our issues be settled by mediation or negotiation, or do I have to go to court?
  • What are my rights to retirement assets
