When is a prenuptial agreement a good idea?
It can be almost too easy to fall in love and decide to get married. It is often a little bit harder to get the families together for a wedding. But no one thinks it is easy to get a divorce if that is what one or both spouses want to do. A few things can make the process easier if people have the foresight to make the right decisions.
- Is a prenuptial agreement a good idea?
The idea of creating an agreement that helps people get a divorce in the future may seem distasteful, especially in a time of good emotions around a new relationship. But the document can offer security to both spouses that eases tension instead of creating it.
- What does a prenuptial agreement cover?
Understanding indirect parenting time interference
The rights of parents are an important aspect of any divorce, and many parents find it difficult to maintain their boundaries properly after divorce or separation. It is natural for many parents to feel that a custody order or parenting plan is not fair, or robs them of valuable time with their child. However, respecting the boundaries of a custody agreement is one of the key ways that parents can make their child's needs the focus of their attention.
Unfortunately, many parents behave in ways that are not ethical or legal when they feel hurt or have other conflicts in their lives. Sometimes, one parent or the other may act in ways that undermine the relationship of the child and the other parent. This is known as indirect parenting time interference, and it can have strong legal consequences.
How can parenting plans help raise children?
We're often told as children that you accomplish more with a plan. When you have a goal, you have to picture what success looks like and work backwards to figure what you need to do to get there. The same is true when you have children, especially when parents are not living or working together.
How can separated parents work out their children's requirements?
Fathers have the same chances to custody rights
Arguing for paternity is not how fathers expect to be recognized. Many hope that a marriage will be enough, and some do not expect to become fathers at all. But the struggle can seem monumental when you sit down and consider all the forms and requirements.
Nebraska, like many other states, tries to simplify the process in the interest of fairness. For example, the Cornhusker State uses the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) to guide its courts' custody decisions. This federal law makes expectations for paternity suits rather predictable.
How can men get their rights as fathers?
There is no bond stronger in human history than that of a parent and a child. This creates a lot of love, but it can also create a lot of drama if parents are not on board with each other's plans for the future. It can seem like a punishment if the law does not yet recognize a parent's rights.
- How can a father prove his rights are valid?
The first step in Nebraska if a man believes he is a father but the mother will not acknowledge is to prove paternity. This is often done with a test of blood or saliva for genetic material that would also be present in the child.
- What if that step has been taken, and a man is, in fact, a father?
Worried about your kids? Ask for more custody time
You love your child, and you want to do what's right for them. You aren't so sure that your ex-partner is doing all she should be doing for them. Every time you go online, she's denigrating you. Every time you open a message from her, she's asking for money or saying what a bad parent you are.
You pay child support on time and know that your children should have all they need, but yet they come to you with worn out clothing and items that are broken. What is happening? Can you change your custody order to get them out of what appears to be a bad situation?
A divorce may be worth much more than the cost
Divorce used to be rarer in the United States and many other places for a lot of reasons. Courts often needed a specific legal reason to grant one, like adultery or deception about not being previously married. A social stigma was often exacted in small communities when people could not work out their differences.
The expense was also a problem, and it still is for some. The average divorce in America costs nearly $13,000 and that amount can be a decent chunk of annual income for most Americans. However, that cost can be seen as an advance on a new life.
What do I do after receiving a protection order?
If you are served with a protection order, you probably have a lot of questions right away. Unfortunately, the officer who shows the order for the first time is rarely the person to ask. It may make the most sense to give these questions to a lawyer who can help represent your interests.
- What is a protection order anyway?
A protection order, sometimes known as a restraining order, is a legal demand for a person to stay away from another person or a specific location. It may also require that a person never attempt to contact another person or even return to a home in their name.
- How do protection orders affect family rights?
The relationship with your ex can impact your children
Being a non-custodial father is a challenging situation, especially in today's society in which fathers are usually very involved in their child's life. Fathers who find themselves in this position need to remember that building the relationship with their children should remain the focus.
It's all too easy to fall into the habit of thinking that you can't have a strong relationship just because you don't get the time you feel you should. Instead of thinking in this manner, try to remember that quality time is much better than quantity of time.
Why would fathers need to prove they are fathers?
When you love a child, you don't much care what your specific relationship to one is beyond knowing who is family. This connection may be most common in biological parents in a marriage, but there are all sorts of modern ways that families come together or work together while they are apart.
- Why would a father need to prove paternity?
A biological determination that a man is a child's father may be necessary for a claim of child custody. Biological and adoptive parents are the only people under Nebraska law that can apply for custody if they are alive and available, so proving that rule is important.
- Does paternity matter even if fathers aren't seeking more rights?
