When you file for divorce or seek custody, temporary orders address immediate needs—from parenting time to financial support—while your case moves through the courts.

Dividing property during a divorce can be a complicated and emotionally charged process, especially when one spouse owns a business. Unlike more straightforward assets like bank accounts or real estate, a business may involve intricate valuations, ownership rights, and future earning potential, all of which must be carefully considered during the division of marital property.

At the end of a marriage, there may be few issues more contentious than alimony. Alimony, also called spousal support or spousal maintenance, is not a guarantee in a divorce.
