You will have lots of questions and concerns, such as:

- What type of custody will it be?
- How will we decide the terms and conditions for visiting the children?
- Am I entitled to spousal support? How much?
- How will the division of property and assets be handled?
Some cases are very quick and straightforward, while others are more complex. There are a number of factors that contribute to the length and nature of negotiations, such as:
- The relationship between both parties
- The terms of the actual separation
- A history of violence or abuse in the relationship
- The number of children, and each parties desire for custody
- The number of assets to be divided, and what each party assumes they’re entitled to
In any case, getting a family lawyer involved early is always a smart move.
