When getting a divorce, spouses may have a hard time agreeing on how to divide their marital property. In Alabama, if a couple is unable to come to a decision on how to split their assets, a judge will decide how to split them in an equitable manner; this does not always mean that everything will be shared 50-50. In New York, which is also an equitable distribution state, one wealthy couple has been battling over a large artwork collection since 2018, as well as expensive real estate in the Hamptons and Manhattan. The divorce is so contentious that the husband has refused to discuss child custody, saying there needs to be a decision on the finances first.
Strong co-parenting can help children adjust to a divorce
When Alabama parents end their marriage, their children may wonder whether they can still go on loving both of them or whether they did something to cause the divorce. Each parent should make an effort to encourage the child's relationship with the other parent and should reassure their children that the situation is not their fault.
