Questions for Divorce Attorneys in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska

Most People Have Lots of Questions

Whether to end your marriage is one of the most important and difficult decisions you will ever have to make. While this is an emotional matter, it is important to ask all the important questions. This is a decision that should take into account numerous issues. Once you review the following list of questions, you may reconsider your goals — or you may be better prepared to move forward while working with a divorce lawyer. Contact Stange Law Firm, PC, to help you with your case.

Custody of Children

  • Will your children live with you or your former spouse?
  • If the children live with your former spouse, how much visitation do you want?
  • How will you and your ex-spouse make decisions concerning the children’s health care and education (jointly or one person makes the final decision)?
  • Who will pay for the children’s living expenses, education, and travel?
  • What if your ex-spouse remarries and the stepparent wants to adopt the children?

Child Support and Spousal Support

  • What about spousal support and child support? Will you receive it or need to pay for it? How much and for how long?
  • Will the spousal support or child support increase or decrease in the future due to changing financial circumstances, economic conditions, or other factors?
  • Who will be entitled to claim the children as exemptions for income tax purposes?
