A divorce settlement is the contract that divorcing spouses agree to — with the help of attorneys, — and then is filed in the courts as part of the final divorce paperwork. How do you know what to ask for in your divorce settlement agreement? These are some of the top things to ask for in a divorce that you may want to consider:
- Time sharing and co-parenting of any children
- Child support and division of expenses for the children
- Division of assets, including property, debt
- Division of investments, including 401ks, pensions, real estate
- Who is responsible for paying any shared mortgages and car notes
- Responsibility of outstanding taxes owed, and how taxes will be filed moving forward
- Shared parenting time
- Joint physical custody
- Co-parenting plan
- Child support and insurance for the child (or children)
- Spousal Support (Alimony)
