Litigation

When a couple decides to divorce, they can either work things out through mediation or litigation. If it comes down to litigation, we will represent your best interests and the interests of your children.

Equitable Distribution of Marital Assets

Your family law attorney at Madison Group, LLP will thoroughly review all finances and assets to ensure an equitable distribution. That will include identifying separate property and the property that you and your spouse acquired during the course of the marriage, which is subject to distribution. Your lawyer will review salary information to determine which spouse is eligible for alimony or support and how much that amount will be.

Post-Decree Motions

Following the divorce and the decrees, circumstances may change. An increase in income may necessitate a post-decree motion for increased child support. If one parent moves the children from the state, he or she needs to work with the other parent to reach an agreement. If not, and the spouse persist on taking the children out of state, he or she could be charged under the Parental Kidnapping Act.

Prenuptial Agreements

With the increasing divorce rate, prenuptial agreements are a pragmatic step to ensure that your assets are protected should your marriage end. Prenuptial agreements are especially significant with second marriages to protect assets from the first marriage. It is important to disclose financial worth and work through alimony and support issues before you exchange wedding vows.
