  2. With the services offered by Chris Stidham and the firm, you can easily get the vest advised regarding family law. If you are looking forward to knowing more about family, this article is just perfect for you. This article talks about the 5 top aspects of practicing family law that you must know by Chris Stidham. A family law practice that might involve any of the 5 following topics:

  3. 1. DIVORCE Divorce is the process of breaking all the bonds of matrimony. Yes! It is mandatory to remember that marriage is a contract and if the parties decide to get married, then they will form a legal relationship in the eyes of the state. And then again, if both the parties decide to no longer keep the relationship intact, they must file court papers to get the divorce.

  4. Each state has its guidelines for how to divide assets and debts in a divorce, but the rules are similar in all states. In most cases, the court looks to make an equitable division of the assets. That means each spouse will get half of their shared assets, though this doesn’t necessarily mean everything is divided evenly with all divorces.

  5. 2. PRE AND POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS If you are talking about the prenuptial agreement, then it is a contract that both parties sign before they are getting married. It has the list of who gets what in the event when they get divorced. The parties have the right to create an agreement that will outline things such as distribution of the assets, separate property, and spousal support while divorce takes place.

  6. 3. ALIMONY AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT Alimony and spousal support can be two of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. Some states use a formula to determine the amount of support. In other cases, it’s left to the judge’s discretion.

  7. 4. CHILD CUSTODY Another topic is child custody. And child custody remains one of the most contested as well as debated areas. Being the family lawyer, you need to make the states decide child custody as well as parenting time depending on the interests of the child that is best.

  8. In the event of child custody, the court considers the following characteristics of a pending divorce such as: • The parent that has the greatest bond with a child or children. • Whether each parent has a stable home. • Whether either parent has a significant criminal record or substance abuse issues.

  9. 5. MEDIATING FOR LEGAL AND PHYSICAL CUSTODY Several states divide custody into physical and legal custody. The courts define physical custody as the person who has custody of the child at any specific time. And one can share the legal and physical custody or the court might award the primary custody to one of the parents.
