• We are U.S. citizens but married in another country. We are planning on getting divorced. Can I return to my country after the divorce? Will I have to pay child and spousal support?

If your spouse runs out and hires a financial expert what do you do?  Hire your own? This is duplicative work in most cases since an expert who testifies in court is supposed to be a neutral objective witness.  If that is case – why have two people?

Depending on the circumstances, most people will benefit from hiring a "neutral" financial expert.  This is not to say that anyone who holds themselves out as an expert in court isn’t supposed to be neutral.  They are supposed to offer an unbiased fact-based opinion; however, if they are only getting information from one source the opinion reached may be different than if they had the benefit of speaking with both parties.
