Divorce law
Each state has different divorce laws,
and these laws fall into 2 categories
equitable division and community
property. Equitable division laws give the court the power to order whatever
the court feels is fair given your individual circumstances, and community
property laws require the court to divide the assets and debts accumulated
during the marriage 50/50, with some exceptions. In mediation and collaborative
law, you’re free to negotiate whatever you and your spouse feel is fair,
with the laws in mind, of course. Mediation lets you figure out what will
work best for your family, not just the law.
