As you move through the divorce process, you may have many questions pertaining to child custody. It doesn't matter if you have one child with your former spouse or several, you need to know how custody is determined and what you can do to put yourself in a better position.
Managing High Emotions In A High Asset Divorce
While divorce almost always invites a certain amount of emotional turmoil, high asset divorce cases often take this turmoil to another level. Although exact definitions of what it takes to be considered a High Net Worth Individual (HNWI), one common baseline is those with a liquid net worth of more than a million dollars. Whether a person has that much money or a little less of more, it's likely that it has brought them a certain amount of comfort and convenience in their lives that they do not want to give up. In some cases each person involved in the high asset divorce only wants to make sure they get their fair share and minimize any change to their lifestyle. In other cases they want to hold on to as much money as they can, at the expense of the other person. And sometimes they are barely money motivated at all. They just want out of the marriage and to move on with their lives. All of these emotional reactions can lead to people making crucial mistakes in the course of the divorce process that are not in their best interests. Here are some considerations that a person going through a divorce needs to consider carefully as they plan their case with their attorney.

Can recordings be used in court?
Domestic violence cases are notorious for being he-said-she-said situations. Both victims and those falsely accused may wonder if recording phone conversations or in-person interactions could help their cases. However, recording or videotaping someone without their consent can actually lead to criminal penalties in the state of Colorado, so it's important to be aware of the laws and limitations.
Every aspect of your life is impacted by divorce
The reasons for divorce are as varied as the seasons. What matters when a couple is getting a divorce is that they get everything taken care of in a timely manner so that they can move on with life. This can be difficult for some people because of complex divorces. In our previous post, we discussed how men who are unemployed are more at risk for getting a divorce. Those cases, as well as cases that involve unemployed wives, can prove complex because of the property division, child custody, child custody and possibly alimony considerations of the divorce.
Unemployed husbands face higher divorce risk
Money is an important issue in any marriage, and it continues to be at the forefront of discussions during divorces as well. However, according to the study from Harvard University, financial issues may not matter as much when it comes to increasing the divorce risk as much as how the couple divides the work, both paid and unpaid.
