Divorce Decisions in a Nutshell

You face many tough decisions when negotiating a divorce agreement. In most cases, the basic questions you need to ask yourself boil down to the following:



  • Where will you both, and your children, all live afterwards?



  • Who will the children live with or will you share their day-to-day care?



  • If you agree on the children living primarily with one of you, how will they keep in contact with their other parent?



  • Will you use a parenting plan? If so, what will it include?



  • Which one of you will pay child support?



  • How much will the child support be?



  • Will the child support include items such as spending money, any private healthcare for your children, school tuition, and other child support ‘extras’, such as coaching or music lessons?



  • How long will the child support last?



  • Will maintenance (spousal support) be paid? If so, to whom and how much?



  • How long will the maintenance payments last?



  • What are your assets?



  • What are your debts?



  • How will you divide your assets (for instance, your home, cars, pensions) and how will you share out the paying off of your debts?
