Beginning a relationship can be a time of great excitement. Ending a relationship is a time of great confusion.
- Do you know where you stand?
- Can you protect property you contributed to the relationship in the event the relationship breaks down?
- How is property divided at the end of a relationship?
- Where will the children live and what time will they spend with the other parent?
- Do I have to pay child support? How much will I pay or receive?
- What options are available to resolve any dispute that develops? Do I have to go to Court?
- Do I have the same rights if we weren’t married?
- What do I do if DOCS removes my children?
