How Does This Work?

Filed Under:
Daily Answer Desk with Jim Gross, Esq.

Question of the Day:

My husband of 24 yrs has asked for a divorce. We have not discussed anything (terms) yet. My 15 yr old son says he does not want to have to spend time with his father. I want to file for sole custody.  How does this work? – Victoria

Answer:

Victoria: The first step is to see if you can settle your case with a Separation Agreement or Marital Settlement Agreement.  You can hire a lawyer or a mediator to help you with the terms.  If you are unable to reach an agreement, you ask the court to award custody to you in your complaint or countercomplaint for divorce.
