How Does Life Change After Divorce?
For both adults and children involved in a divorce, life will change. The property division aspect of divorce often involves one or both partners moving out of the family homestead, changing careers, and running a household or engaging in childcare without a partner to assist. For children, divorce may mean moving, changing schools, living in two different households (depending on custody arrangements), or spending much less time with one parent than before. All of these changes are difficult to maneuver, especially for children who are not normally part of the decision-making process.
The lifestyle of the family may change due to disrupted financial stability. In some cases, law enforcement agencies may enter the picture if there has been domestic violence or abuse. At Hebert Law Offices, we have in-depth experience in all areas of the divorce process and are confident that we can guide you through the troubled waters of negotiation and/or litigation. We are determined to earn your complete trust as we work together to clear the path to your new life.
