In the past the words "custody" and "visitation" were used to describe where a child would reside, who made the parental decisions and when the child would be with each parent. Today Parental Responsibilities are Allocated (f/k/a custody) and parents get Parenting Time (f/k/a visitation).

WE RESOLVE YOUR ISSUES: 401(k), 403(b), IRA, K-1, QDRO, QILDRO, real estate investments, S corps, debts, dissipation, maintenance (f/k/a alimony), parenting time (f/k/a visitation), parental responsibilities (f/k/a custody), child support, paternity, guardianship, grandparents rights, etc.

In the past the word "alimony" was used to describe spousal support. Today we use the word "maintenance". In the past the Court had much discretion and men were rarely awarded maintenance. Today the law requires the Court to apply a mathematical equation with no regard to gender.

The law today combines and compares the incomes of both parents to determine child support.

Divorce

I contacted Mr. Wakenight to help me with my divorce. Things went really smooth and he was very fair with the overall cost. He was very available and his office was great at taking care of the administrative tasks. And he was a pretty nice guy too. I would recommend.
