Can I Change My Last Name After a Divorce?

This is probably the first question that comes to your mind. The simple answer is "NO." You don't have to keep your last name after a divorce and can return to your maiden name quite easily. You'll need some help from our family lawyer in NYC though.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

Also known as an antenuptial or premarital agreement, the prenup is a contract you and your spouse enter into before your marriage. It is there to control most of your legal rights. Also, it is commonly used to regulate what happens with your estate if the marriage ends by death or by divorce.

What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement is similar to a prenuptial agreement. However, you enter a postnuptial agreement after you get married. The contract contains provisions for division of assets and for spousal support in case of a divorce or of death.

Can Anyone Other Than a Parent Get Custody?

Even though rare, there have been cases where custody was awarded to a person who was not the parent of the child. Relatives such as grandparents, uncles and aunts can get custody in some cases. This is known as third-party custody.

Can the Father Get Child Custody?

Of course. Any of the parents can get custody of the child. However, we want to point out that there is a big misconception regarding this matter. Most states do not grand any privileges to parents based on sex. The only thing that matters is the best interest of the child.

Define Time-Sharing

In some cases, the court will decide that both parents can share the responsibilities of raising the child. The time-sharing plan outlines how each parent will get involved in the child's development. Also, it clearly states the amount of time each parent can spend with the child.
