Divorce settlement in Jones County Georgia Family Attorney
A divorce settlement is the best way to go, if both husband and wife can come to an agreement‚ either on their own or with the help of a mediator. With this, the parties can get what they want as far as custody, visitation and assets are concerned. If an issue such as visitation is decided by the court, the parties may not like the schedule the judge orders‚ but the judge is going to do what is in the best interest of the minor children.
In a divorce settlement, the spouses can keep the properties and liabilities each one wants, and offset the inequitable distribution with another asset or a asset that can be easily distributed between the two spouses such as a savings account, which are much easier to divide than a retirement account. Also, tax consequences should be considered while working up a settlement. It is possible that one spouse is in a better position to pay taxes on a certain property, and would therefore take that asset. If the case should go to litigation instead, the court can give the other party that particular property, and that party can end up losing the asset due of tax complications.
In a divorce settlement, because the parties created the agreement, they are more likely to abide by the agreement, instead of a court order awarding issues to the spouse that did not want certain issues. This in turn keeps the parties out of court to litigate a noncompliance after the entry of the final judgment.
