Divorce is often treated as a competition. Something both parties do their best to win, with the outcome decided by a judge. But it doesn't have to be this way. Divorce doesn't need to be a struggle between you and your ex. You have options.
Why consider mediation?
What happens when your ex-spouse stops paying child support?
You would do anything for your child. They deserve to not only have their needs met, but also feel supported. When an ex-spouse stops paying child support, it may become difficult for your child to succeed. Perhaps your ex's payments helped pay for piano lessons, soccer gear, dental braces or outfits for school. This sudden breach in the agreement can produce harmful drawbacks. What should you do if this happens?
Is your spouse hiding assets during your divorce?
You and your spouse have filed for divorce, and one day you notice a payment from your joint checking account to what appears to be a financial adviser. The only problem is you've never heard of or met this financial adviser.
Divorce and special needs children
All children are unique. Therefore, each child responds to divorce differently. Reactions can vary depending on the age of your child. For example, emotional maturity affects the way they cope with change and possible conflict. It is important that parents concentrate on more than just the legal responsibilities of divorce. Additionally, parents should spend time helping the child adjust. For children with special needs, decision-making becomes even more complex.
