Washington, D.C. Divorce Attorney
Because there is life after divorce
Dealing with a divorce is like going to the dentist. Although it is often necessary, it is never completely painless. A good dentist, however, knows how to minimize pain and stress, and so does a good lawyer. At the law firm of Abraham Blitzer, we may not be able to take all the anxiety out of your divorce, but there are several steps we can take to manage it. To discuss your options with a compassionate and helpful legal team, contact Abraham Blitzer today for a free consultation.
Property Division
Every divorce involves dividing the marital property, which can include
Real estate
401(k) or pension plans
Personal property
Stocks
You also have to decide how to divide your debt on
Mortgages
Credit cards
Car payments
Washington D.C. law states that property counts as "marital" if it was acquired during the marriage.
Parenting Plans
If you have children, you and your spouse have to make decisions about
Child custody
Child support
Visitation
Usually, one parent takes care of the child's day-to-day needs, while the other has visitation rights and child support obligations. The child support calculator is laid out in statute, and is dependent on the income of the spouses.
Spousal Support
Spousal support, also called alimony, is much rarer than it used to be. Sometimes, if one of the spouses stayed at home, he or she can get some spousal support so that he or she has the means to go back to school or take other steps to re-enter the job market.
How we can help
Every divorce happens for a reason. While those issues do not go away, it is important to keep them separate from the decisions that you have to make about who gets what and who gets custody.
This is especially true if you have children together. You may not be husband and wife any more, but you are still both parents to your children.
We are not marriage counselors. However, we offer sound advice at a very difficult time. No matter how upsetting your divorce is, we can be there to protect your property and parental rights. We can craft a decree and parenting plan that works for everyone. We can also handle any child support or child custody modification as needed.
We work hard to help you maintain a good working relationship with your spouse. If being on good terms is not an option, then we will fight in court.
