You should immediately call an experienced criminal attorney if you are being investigated for a crime. Do not talk to the police without a criminal defense attorney present.

No fault divorce is a concept that is based around the circumstances of the divorce. In essence, what a no fault divorce means is that either spouse is entitled to get a divorce based upon the grounds of an irretrievably broken marriage. The spouse cannot say that the marriage is not irretrievably broken because once one spouse says it is irretrievably broken, the law would recognize that you’re entitled to a divorce without having to say anything more.

Choosing to remain in the same home is completely up to both parties if they can live with that situation. If being in the same house is manageable, both parties get along well enough and can handle it, it is recommended to stay there as long as possible. Sometimes people aren’t able to stay in the house because there is a lot of animosity and hard feelings between the parties. In that case, it’s okay to leave. Leaving is allowed and does not compromise any rights during the divorce.

Many people don’t have the ability to come up with a huge amount of money right away and might need some help with the payment plans. Payment plans can typically run from as little as $150-$200 a month to around $400-$500 a month depending on what the fees of the divorce are going to be. This will vary case to case and by attorney.

Divorce retainers run at different price points for different types of clients. In cases such as uncontested divorce, the retainer may be $1,000. If the divorce is going to take more time and commitment to the issues that need to be resolved, a typical retainer could be $2,000.

The biggest issues that are addressed in a divorce include issues relating to children, child support, and custody visitation. Issues that are also resolved are those dealing with marital property and separate property. The big questions are framed around belongings and where they may end up after the divorce. Also, some cases have the component of spousal support or maintenance.

A common question about divorce pertains to how long it can take start to finish. There is not a clear answer to this question because the length of a divorce can vary. It could be as short as two or three months or it could take up to two to three years. It all depends upon the complexity of your divorce, the issues that are present, and whether you and your spouse have the ability to come up with a quick resolution to those issues.
