Montgomery County Family Law Attorney
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a lawyer?
When you are going through a divorce, there are often many issues that are contested between you and your spouse. Child custody, alimony, child support, property division and other related areas can cause upset and emotional situations. With the help of an experienced Montgomery County divorce lawyer, you could be able to resolve your issues in a much smoother fashion than if you chose to “go it alone.” Statistically, individuals who work with attorneys achieve better results than those who do not.
What can I expect from my divorce?
Without speaking with you directly, it is impossible to tell you what to expect. That is why we encourage you to contact one of our attorneys if you have questions or concerns about your future divorce or other family law situation. Once your attorney has evaluated your situation, he or she will be able to give you a much better idea of where you stand and what your next step should be.
What if I want to try to get a divorce on my own?
Many people attempt to go through the process without the assistance of an attorney. This is not recommended simply because it can be very difficult if you are not familiar with the paperwork, documents and other requirements necessary for achieving a divorce. Meeting with a divorce lawyer can give you the necessary knowledge and assistance. Even if you are going through a contested divorce, an attorney can help you.
How much will I have to pay in child support?
Most states have a detailed calculating tool that they use to determine the base amount of child support that you or your spouse will be required to pay in order to contribute to their child’s upbringing and sheltering. Many factors are taken into account, including the age of the child, any special needs, your income, your spouse’s income and other similar things.
Will I have to pay alimony?
There is a possibility that you could be rewarded alimony or that you could be required by the court to pay spousal support to your ex-spouse after the divorce has been finalized. Whether this will happen depends upon your marriage – how long you were married, your contribution to the household, your earning potential, how much money you earn now and more. If you have questions about spousal support/alimony, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
