This is probably the most common question we hear. Can you change your family name after a divorce? Of course you can, and the process is not overly complicated either. You can revert to your maiden name relativelyquickly. However, in order to avoid any unnecessary delays, we would advise you to get help from a family court attorney.
So, what is a prenuptial agreement? You've probably heard about this term before. The prenuptial contract (or prenup) is a contact that clearly describes what happens with things like assets and other rights in case of a divorce or if one of the signatories passes away. The prenuptial contract is signed before the marriage, as its name clearly suggests.
OK, so what is a postnuptial contract? The good news is that the answer is pretty simple – if you've read the definition of a prenuptial contract above. A postnuptial contract is similar to a prenup, the notable difference being that the former is signed after the marriage while the latter is signed before the marriage.
Yes, but this depends on many factors. Grandparents, aunts and uncles can get custody of a child, of course. In some cases, even close family friends can get custody. However, things can get very complicated very fast during some hearings. This is why we strongly suggest you to get in touch with our family court attorney and discuss the specifics of your case with him.
US courts don't differentiate between parents based on sex. What matters to the court the most is the wellbeing of the child. The ruling will reflect this, of course. So yes, a father can get custody of a child. A family court lawyer can help you win your case.
Time sharing is not difficult to understand. It is basically a schedule that shows the court how you and your spouse plan to split the difficult task of raising the child. Among other things, the time-sharing plan describes how much time the child can spend with each parent.
