Separation Agreement
A common issue that arises which will cause vast amounts of aggravation, hostility and stress is the process of separation. If you need to separate to make life more manageable, consider a separation agreement.
These agreements let both parties know how matters will be handled during the process of reconciliation, counseling, cooling-off or pre-divorce decree. Set boundaries, child co-parenting, visitation, bills, insurance and establish a guideline for many other family concerns during this uncertain period. These agreements can be handled virtual or in-person, ⇒ Contact Us ⇐.
Please NOTE: Temporary orders issued by the court many times exceed the maximum and put the couple into a very stressful situation causing more fighting and animosity. Strongly consider avoiding court temporary orders and trying to work together.

Child Support Computation
Anytime there is a minor child involved (under 18 years old) or a child whom is mentally or physically handicapped; you will need to address child support. Judges require that you complete the DHS Computational Worksheet or a similar worksheet. This does not mean DHS will be involved in your divorce but it is the standard worksheet required by the court and cited in law (43 OS ???). Few judges will sign off on a divorce decree without a computation worksheet.
There is a link at the bottom, after you submit the form, to add the court styling. The (District Court) button will allow you to input your information so this can be submitted to the court.
