Marriages fall apart for countless reasons, and every couple faces unique circumstances. For example, some do not have kids together, while others struggle with custody disputes or financial concerns as a result of property division, child support, alimony or another factor. Some people tend to dwell on some of the negative aspects of the divorce process, but there are a number of positive ways in which life can change as well. For example, some people are able to find a fresh start after splitting up with their spouse.
A fresh start after ending your marriage
Understanding settlement conferences
In the past, if you and your spouse decided to get divorced in Montana, you had few options available to you besides going to court. However, due in part to the high costs involved in litigation, both in terms of time and money, as well as the desirability of maintaining cordial relations between spouses, alternative dispute resolution options are increasingly available to help you reach a divorce agreement. We at Cunningham Law Office understand that you may feel confused or overwhelmed by the choices available to you. In this article, we explain a term with which you may not be familiar: settlement conference.
When only one parent wants to modify the parenting plan
It is common for divorced parents in Montana to find that changing circumstances make their current parenting plan impossible to adhere to. However, the difficulties that arise for one parent may not be acknowledged by the other. Even when one parent does not agree to a change, the other can request that the court approve a modification to the original parenting plan.
