Divorce Law

Divorce

Nearly every aspect of your life is touched by divorce. Whether it’s your children, assets, marital or separate debts, your life will be put under the microscope during a divorce proceeding. It’s a hard and emotional time, but that’s even more of a reason to hire an experienced divorce attorney. We have extensive experience in the divorce laws of West Virginia. We help clients throughout their entire case.

Property Division

Do you know what constitutes marital and separate property? Are you aware that your separate property can be claimed by one spouse or both? Without an attorney to guide you, property division might be distributed unfairly or illegally by the other party. For example, your spouse might attempt to give a family member money to avoid distribution by the court; our law firm can help ensure this doesn’t happen to you.

Division of Debt

The family court cannot extinguish your debts, but it can order a party to pay a debt. Still, there are times when debt in the name of only one party can be a marital debt. Your divorce attorney can help you determine what is a marital debt and what is a separate debt, and to understand the rules on debt distribution.

Spousal Support

You or your spouse may owe the other either temporary or permanent spousal support/alimony. Every divorce case is different and depends on the circumstances. Therefore, alimony will be determined by multiple factors. Some of these factors are the length of the marriage, the ability to earn income, age, education, and health of the party seeking support. Fault is also an issue in contested spousal support cases.

Child Support

In West Virginia, if you are the primary caregiver, you are entitled to child support payments. Typically child support is determined by a formula. With us by your side, you won’t only better understand how to apply, but you’ll also receive more information on the child support formula. This formula is used by the courts to determine how much money must be paid and by whom, and for how long.

Both parents must have fair child support orders to ensure that the funds are there to care for their child. In West Virginia, a child support order means that the majority of cases follow a child support formula. The formula sets out:

  • Who is to pay child support

  • The amount to be paid

  • When payments are to be made

  • The frequency of payments

  • When payments will end

  • Who is to receive the payments

Usually, support payments are paid by the parent who does not have primary custody of the child to the parent who does. The parent who receives the support payments is to use the money for the benefit of the child only.
