This month Ben and Heather addressed a wide array of family law questions from the community, touching on a number of common issues faced by people going through divorce and separation.
The questions included:
- Starting out: I'm thinking about separating but haven't yet spoken to my partner about it. Is there anything you recommend I do before I speak to my partner?
- Property settlement timing (myth busting): I don't think I can wait until the 12-month separation period is up to apply for divorce. What can I do?
- Parenting decisions: Can my husband force my kids into boarding school?
- Property division: My partner moved into my house six years ago. Is she now entitled to a 50/50 split?
- Child custody adolescents: My 15-year-old son has indicated he wants to live with me full time and my ex refuses. What can I do?
- Parenting Orders: Do we have to have a Parenting Order, or can we just figure out our own custody arrangements?
- Child Support: Can I stop child support payments now that my ex is marrying someone wealthy?
