One of the most difficult family law issues a person can face is divorce. Whether or not a divorce is uncontested or mutual, it will intertwine with multiple other family issues that must be mutually agreed upon by both spouses.

Alimony and Spousal Support Issues
When a married couple decide to divorce, one spouse may be awarded temporary or permanent spousal support or alimony. Spousal support or alimony is determined by many different factors that were present during the marriage including the spouse's ability to pay alimony and the other spouse's financial need. Spousal support or alimony can be awarded as a lump sum payment or as a yearly or monthly payment.
If you have a legal issue involving spousal support or alimony during a divorce, contact The Law Offices of Drew Nichols to review the facts of your case and determine your next course of action.
Property Division/Division of Assets
One of the many legal issues that will be addressed in a divorce is the division of assets or division of marital property. This issue can be very easy to decide, or it can evoke all kinds of emotions and be extremely difficult. Basically, division of assets determines who will get what items of value and how will these items be distributed after the divorce is granted.
When a couple cannot agree regarding the division of assets, then a family law judge will order an equitable division of the property. However, this does not mean the property is always equally split 50/50 among the parties. Making a mutually agreeable division of property and assets is usually best because a judge's decision often disappoints both parties.
Property division is often decided by, but not limited to, a variety of factors including the length of the marriage, the value of the property at the time of marriage, the value of the separate property of each spouse, the age of each spouse, mental and physical health, etc.
If you are considering or going through a divorce involving the division of assets, Oklahoma divorce Attorney Drew Nichols would like to provide you guidance and representation during this difficult time.
