What are the primary orders issued in a divorce case in the United States?
The primary orders issued in a divorce case in the United States include:
Permanent Alimony
Support to be paid by one spouse to another indefinitely; may end if the spouse receiving support remarries or lives with another person, if the spouse paying support dies, or if the spouse receiving support cohabits with another person and supports that person without the contribution of money from any other source.
Temporary Alimony
Support to be paid by one spouse to another during the pendency of a divorce proceeding; terminates upon entry of final judgment (unless the court makes it permanent).
Custody and Parenting Time (Visitation)
The specific terms of where a child will live, who has decision-making authority, and when a child will spend time with each parent. This is different from custody and parenting time arrangements for an unmarried couple who have created their own parenting agreement separate from their divorce proceeding.
Child Support
Money paid by one parent to the other for the financial benefit of a child; generally calculated based on each parent's income and the number of children; may be ordered as part of an initial divorce decree or as part of an order modifying existing support orders.
The primary orders issued in a divorce case in the United States are:
-The spouses' right of custody over their children.
-The division of property.
Divorce
Divorce is a foreign term to many of us, but it's a familiar concept in the United States. In fact, over half of all marriages end in divorce. Divorce is when married people decide to legally break their marriage, often because they are no longer getting along. When a divorce happens, there are two primary orders issued by the court:
-A Decree of Dissolution.
-Order for Child Custody and Support.
