Austin Divorce Lawyer

The Wall Street Journal has recently published an article that considers divorcing couples’ assets during the recession. The article states that some couples could greatly benefit from finding creative ways to approach property division.

Instead of selling assets, the article recommends that couples find a way to divide them and keep them so that they can appreciate as the country comes out of the recession. This would be far more beneficial than selling off all the property at decreased prices and possibly falling into debt.

Laila Ali, Muhammad Ali’s daughter, is in a child support battle with her husband’s ex wife. The ex wife is asking for more child support and for Ali’s income and possible inheritance from her father to be factored into those support payments.

Ali’s husband currently pays $1000 a month in child support even though he is technically unemployed. The former NFL player’s payments are currently calculated on imputed income. He divorced in 2004 and remarried in 2007.

Child support payments can sometimes make a huge difference in the quality of life of a child. When those payments never come, that difference is for the worse. Unfortunately, that situation occurs all too often.

When parents do not make their child support payments, however, they are answerable to the courts. If they cannot or will not make payments, they could face jail time. In addition, their pay may be docked in some situations.

If you are not receiving child support payments, contact the Austin divorce attorneys of Slater Kennon & Jameson, LLP at 512-472-2431.

Domestic violence is a very serious situation that no one should have to suffer through. Unfortunately, it is still a very real and very dangerous situation in the country. To compound that, the suffering economy can compound stress and increase the incidence of domestic violence.

During the Great Depression, domestic violence saw a huge spike across the nation because so many people were unemployed and were trying to weather the situation. However, hard times to not justify domestic violence.

Divorce can be an ugly thing, but it does not have to be. In fact, most people would rather have their divorce proceedings go as quickly and as smoothly as possible. For that reason, many people choose to go through mediated divorces.

Mediated divorces are performed almost entirely out of court. They involve the couple deciding how to proceed with the help of a mediator to keep them on track. Once an agreement is made, it is taken to court for approval.
