Child Custody: Negotiating in the Child’s Best Interest
When you and your spouse decide to live separate lives, the underlying question is often who gains custody of the child. If you can’t devise a parenting schedule, one or both may decide to pursue full child custody. Child custody cases become pretty messy, especially if other family issues or disputes, such as divorce, are involved.
As parents, you should avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment but for the overall welfare of a child. Remember, a child’s self-esteem and well-being is often based on them having both parents in their lives.

Spousal Support: A Split Shouldn’t Be the Cause of Financial Trouble
Financial support can sometimes be a problem for one partner after a divorce or legal separation. If you and your partner decide to go your separate ways and you weren’t working during your marriage because of a lack of knowledge or skills to find a job, you could file for spousal support.
