Recently, Bethany Frankel revealed how troublesome her divorce has been on "Good Day New York," describing it as "brutal" and "excruciating." On "The View," Jane Seymour said of her divorce, "Obviously, it’s really quite devastating."

And we saw the finality of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ 536-day divorce (TMZ  notes that their marriage lasted only 72 days, to put things into perspective). 

Divorce is perhaps the greatest challenge that you will ever go through. It effects every area of your life: your family, finances, friends and community, health, and so much more.  
What most people fail to realize is that so much of the suffering related to divorce is optional.

The decision to end a marriage is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever have to make.

Only when you truly believe your marriage cannot be saved, then you should begin considering the many factors that determine when is the best time to file for divorce.

Question:

Can I appeal my divorce if I was never served with the final paperwork?

Question:

My wife and I are going through an amicable divorce with the children residing with me the majority of the time and an agreement in place that neither of us will pay child support to the other.

Even though we both are paying for things as they are needed and do not want child support from each other, my state will not even let us submit the divorce filing unless the child support section is filled out.

It was suggested we just go ahead and put me as the one paying child support, but I'm worried that if we do that there will be no turning back and the judge will order child support even though my wife doesn't want it and the kids live with me.

How can we submit divorce paperwork if neither party is wanting to pay child support?

An often confusing divorce process can become more complex when one spouse is from a foreign country and not a United States citizen. 

It is common for the United States spouse to sponsor the immigration application of the non-resident spouse. This can cause complications when doing through the divorce process, and this situation typically places additional requirements on the immigrating spouse.

If you find yourself in this situation, you should work with both an experienced domestic relations attorney as well as a qualified immigration attorney.
