Fountain Divorce Lawyers
A healthy marriage is something most people want and strive for. Unfortunately, the vast majority of marriages fall short of the ideal of a happy ending. Nearly half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce, and that number has been rising steadily for the past three decades. This is a sad reality, and it can be heartbreaking for those who are going through the process.
Going through a divorce without legal representation, while possible, isn’t recommended, given that the process of divorce tends to be complicated and time-consuming. In the face of all the chaos and worry surrounding divorce, it is easy to forget that it is a very personal matter in addition to being a legal process. Divorce is highly emotional, and many individuals struggle to cope with the feelings of despair and uncertainty that come with the end of a marriage. That’s another reason why having a divorce lawyer on your side is beneficial. Divorce attorneys are equipped to guide you through the emotional turmoil that comes with divorce while also advising you on your legal rights and duties.
If you are contemplating divorce or are already in the midst of the process, our Fountain divorce lawyers will empower you to grow through the process and make sound decisions so you can achieve the satisfactory outcome you are looking for..
Financial Impacts of Divorce
The financial strain that a divorce places on both parties is a major deterrent. It is possible for divorcing parties to underestimate the financial toll that their split will take. Here are some of the ways a divorce can impact your finances and how our divorce lawyer can help you avoid some of these problems.
- Property Division: We can help you divide marital property like real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and more. Our team can value assets properly, advocate for fair distribution, and protect your finances.
- Spousal support/alimony: Our divorce lawyers can help determine the amount and duration of spousal support or alimony based on income, earning capacity, and standard of living during the marriage. They can settle spousal support through negotiation or litigation.
- Debt Allocation: We can help you and your spouse divide mortgages, loans, and credit card debts fairly.
- Tax Implications: We can work with tax professionals to help you understand and reduce property and spousal support taxes.
- Hidden Assets: In cases where you suspect your spouse is not being honest, we can help you find and address hidden assets or financial misconduct by your spouse. With forensic accountants and investigators, we can trace assets, find hidden income, and disclose and account for all financial information.
- Business Valuation: If you or your spouse own a business, we can help you value it and decide how to divide it or if a buyout is needed. We can assess the business's value with financial experts for a fair resolution.
