Divorce lawyers are part of a broad area of the law commonly referred to as Family Law. Often the term divorce lawyer and family lawyer will be used interchangeably because in addition to divorce, a family lawyer will also handle cases involving family related issues such as marriage, child support, alimony, child custody, adoption, and even 401k issues. Because the issue of divorce can be extremely complicated, especially the division of assets, it may be important to enlist the help of a lawyer to assist in the divorce process.

"WHAT CAN A DIVORCE DO FOR ME?"

1. A divorce is used to legally say you are no longer married to your spouse.
2. Allows you to remarry.
3. Division of property: based on a fair division in the most economic way possible.
4. Determines support obligations: both child support and spousal support, also know as alimony, are determined during the divorce process.
5. Determines child custody and visitation: the court will try to make these decisions based on the best interests of the children.

"WHAT CAN'T A DIVORCE DO FOR ME?"

1. Guarantee precise and equal division of property: no two divorces are the same, but the courts will do their best they can to ensure property is divided up fairly and equitably.
2. Ensure civil relations: divorce is just a piece of paper. It is up to you and your spouse to act in a civil manner and keep the best interest of your children in mind.
3. Maintain your standard of living: living in a single household allows a family to share expenses, responsibilities, and incomes. With two separate households after the divorce, you may not have as high of a standard of living as when you were married.
4. Resolve emotional issues: you may need the help of a therapist and support groups to resolve these issues.

"WHAT ARE SOME DO'S AND DONT'S DURING MY DIVORCE?"

DO:

1. Be reasonable and cooperate with your spouse.
2. Support your children.
3. Communicate with your spouse about when and where you will spend time with your kids. Talk about custody issues and come to an agreement.
4. Fully disclose all assets and property. If you withhold information your divorce can be invalidated later on.
5. Ask your lawyer for clarification if something is confusing. Divorces are complicated and a lawyer can help guide you through the process.

DON'T:

1. Make plans to take a job in another state or move out of state until after your divorce is finalized.
2. Violate any temporary custody or visitation arrangements.
3. "Give away" your property to friends or family and arrange to get it back after your divorce.
4. Go it alone if you are nsure of the process. It's very complicated and a lawyer can help protect your interests.

"I WANT TO FILE FOR DIVORCE, DO I NEED A LAWYER?"

When filing for a divorce you are not required to employ a lawyer. However, the issues related to divorce are very complicated and the aid of a qualified lawyer can help you through this difficult time. Robert C. Kokor Co. LPA can assist you with issues related to the division of property, child support, custody, visitation, and alimony. These issues are extremely important to the whole family. It can be very difficult to deal with them alone. A lawyer who is knowledgeable in this area of the law can be a great help.

There are instances where you should absolutely hire a lawyer. You should hire a divorce lawyer when:

• there is spousal or child abuse in the marriage. A lawyer can use the court system to help protect you and your children throughout the divorce process.
• your spouse is being dishonest or vindictive. If a spouse becomes too difficult to deal with, it is important to hire a lawyer to assist you. Emotions can run high during a divorce and a lawyer will make sure you are protected and will serve your interests.
• your spouse has hired a lawyer. If you are unfamiliar with the divorce laws, it may be very difficult to understand everything your spouse's lawyer is doing. That lawyer will have your spouse's interests in mind, not yours. Having your own lawyer will ensure that your interests are protected during the divorce and will ensure the issues such as division of property, child support and custody, and alimony are fair.
• your financial situation or custody situation is very complicated. It may be too difficult to understand or learn about these issues. The easiest way to resolve these issues may be to allow a lawyer to take care of the legal processes for you.
