Myth: Child support payments must be spent only on the children.
The truth is, child support payments can be used for many things which indirectly relate to the children such as a roof over
their heads, groceries, insurance or many other things. A
related myth is that the paying parent has a right to know exactly how their child support payments are being used.

Should grandparents have visitation rights to their grandchildren?
Many say that grandparent visitation rights should always be considered when delegating visitation. After all, a divorce limits both parents’ time with their shared children, and this can therefore mean that a grandparent, who once was close to her grandchildren, is denied any relationship with them at all.

Not all property is subject to division...
Only marital property is subject to division. Non-marital property, which includes property owned prior to the marriage, as well as some other property such as inheritances, may not be divided in the divorce. One of the most important things that we do is take care to isolate any property that you have that may not be subject to division.
