Most often, Child Custody, Maintenance Payments, and
Most often, Child Custody, Maintenance Payments, and Child Support are sticking points. These should always be discussed and agreed upon before moving on to the other issues. Remember to make sure the children’s best interests are of the up most importance! Once you have agreed on the terms of custody and support, you’ll be able to move on to the other issues. Don’t let yourself get into trading any of these other issues for anything having to do with your children! The children are a separate issue all together and should be agreed upon first. Once that’s taken care of, move on to issues like Division of Assets, Disputes about Property Division, Name Changes, Medical Support, Visitation for Grandparents and other family members, Vacation Times, and so on.
At this point you’ll no doubt find yourselves getting frustrated. Always take the time to work things out on your own.
