Divorce
Divorce mediation provides a positive outcome not achievable through litigation. Divorce mediation shelters you and your children from the harmful impact of Divorce. Litigation is not a pre-set exercise, but only the choice of last resort. Divorce Mediation is the logical and positive alternative to the bitterness and contentiousness involved in the adversarial battleground of the divorce process.
Child Support
Mediation can resolve the issues of custody, visitation, equitable distribution, child support and separation all without the high cost of litigation. At the conclusion of mediation, the parties are in every way as divorced as the couple who has emotionally battled it out with litigation.
Child Custody and Visitation
That statement alone is sufficient to justify a Dissolution (commonly known as Divorce) of marriage being granted. It does not make a difference, either financially or with regard to child custody who initiates the dissolution of marriage action. In addition, it does not matter if one party wants to dissolve the marriage and the other party does not. The court will grant a Dissolution despite one party's objection.<
Adoption
Guardianship
The possibility of leaving assets outright to minor children may be the greatest disadvantage of the simple Will. Many simple Wills call for everything to go to the surviving spouse - which might be fine, IF there is a survivor. The potential problem is that most of these documents name the children as secondary beneficiaries, upon the death of the second parent, or in the event of a simultaneous death. If the parents die while the children are minors, a guardian must be appointed over the children's inherited assets (and over the kids themselves), and this is a cumbersome form of property ownership. E.g., the law might require division of an asset, such as real estate, among the children, rather than holding it intact. Remember, too, that guardianship usually ends at age 18 and assets must then be distributed outright.
Spousal Support
There are often many issues involved in domestic situations including: child custody/visitation, payment/receipt of child support, payment/receipt of spousal support, and division/use of community and separate property assets. The laws surrounding these issues directly impact just about every avenue of life and death. Custody and visitation orders can effect your disposable income, your taxes, where you live, when you work, when and where you vacation. In addition, once a dissolution, or legal separation action is filed an automatic stay is enacted which legally limits your financial options. (For example, you cannot close a checking, savings, or credit card account without the written permission of the other party. Nor can you change the beneficiary of a life insurance or retirement plan.)

Forgery
Occasionally, however, there might be an objection. For example, somebody might claim that the document being offered to the court is actually a forgery. Or, more commonly, the document being objected to has been revoked in a later Will. Whatever the objection or claim, it must be brought to the judge's attention. The FBI does not investigate these cases; whoever has a gripe must go to court.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Do you have children? If so, then you should probably have a will/or trust. If you don’t have kids, it can still be recommended. If you know for a fact that what you want to happen to your stuff, is what the state provides for, then NO you don’t need a will or trust. Do you know what happends when people die intestate in your state? If what you want differs from the state law, then you should have an estate planning mechanism in place.
Wills
Many simple Wills have a "standard" clause directing the Executor to pay "all debts and taxes." In some situations, this can produce an unintended and very unfair result. We will see later that some of the decedent's money and property might be OUTSIDE the probate process, and, therefore, not under the control of his Will (or the Executor). For example, a bank Certificate of Deposit might be "Payable On Death" and go directly to a particular child, designated on a bank form when the decedent bought the CD. Meanwhile, the decedent's other kids might be getting their share of his wealth by inheriting assets that DO go through probate. The result could be that the Executor would have to pay all the decedent's final debts without taking anything out of the "CD child's" hide. After all, the Will told the Executor to, "Pay ALL debts and taxes." So the children getting money from the probate pot might have to give up more than their fair share of their inheritance paying debts, while the "CD child" gives up nothing.
Trusts
Trusts can be "living" - established during the Grantor's lifetime - or testamentary -established in a Will. A living Trust can be revocable - subject to termination or modification at any time by the Grantor for any reason - or irrevocable. As for testamentary Trusts, of course, a deceased Grantor is unable to change the terms of a Trust created under his/her Will, so these Trusts are always irrevocable. ( Before death, however, the Grantor is certainly free to change his/her Will, including any testamentary Trust that is to be created.) If the Trust is irrevocable, the Grantor can never change or terminate it, or withdraw assets, even in an emergency. An irrevocable Trust is an independent entity under the law.
