Breaking Up is Hard to Do: Arkansas Divorces

Divorce and legal separation is no walk in the park in any state, and Arkansas is no exception. First things first, there are some requirements for filing for divorce in Arkansas. Similar to most states, individuals must be residents of the state for a certain period of time before they can file for divorce. So, if you just moved here to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city, you might have to wait a little longer before you can officially call it quits.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Arkansas is what we like to call an “at fault” divorce state. That means one spouse must prove that the other did something wrong, like committing adultery or engaging in cruel and inhuman treatment, before they can divorce. Lastly, you’ve got to file for divorce in the county where either spouse resides.

Navigating the complexities of the legal system during an Arkansas divorce is uncharted territory for most folks. That’s why having an experienced family law attorney by your side can make all the difference in protecting your rights and guiding you through the divorce process. We’ll help you navigate the complex legal process, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected, and your voice is heard. From court representation to asset division and determining child custody, we’ve got your back. Let a skilled family law attorney take care of the legalities while you focus on healing and starting a new chapter in your life.

The Uncontested Divorce in Arkansas

So, you’ve decided to call it quits and want to pursue an uncontested divorce in Arkansas. Well, kudos to you for avoiding the drama! An uncontested divorce means you and your soon-to-be-ex can agree on the terms and skip the courtroom battles. But don’t let your guard down just yet — there’s still paperwork involved and legal processes to navigate. Lucky for you, our family law attorneys at WH Law can guide you through all the documents and paperwork and help you end this chapter of your life with a smile on your face. Just remember, even in an uncontested divorce, you still need a family law attorney to protect your rights and ensure everything goes smoothly.

Child Custody in Arkansas

Arkansas courts take child custody seriously, and they consider a variety of factors when making their decisions on sole or joint custody. First off, they’ll take a look at the child’s best interests. Are they in a stable and safe environment? Can both parents provide for their physical and emotional needs? These are just some of the questions that the court will ask. Arkansas child custody courts also consider the child’s wishes, especially if they’re old enough to voice their opinion. They’ll look at the parents’ ability to cooperate and communicate with each other because, let’s face it, a messy child custody battle can cause a lot of damage within your family. Financial support is also a key consideration.

Our child custody lawyers at WH Law know the emotional rollercoaster that comes with fighting for custody of your children. From understanding the laws to advocating for your rights, we’ll help you navigate this challenging terrain. So saddle up and let us help you fight for what matters most — your children.

Paying Child Support In Arkansas

When parents decide to go their separate ways, the court wants to make sure that the kiddos are taken care of. First, you’ll need to submit an affidavit of financial means and paystubs so the court can determine how much you owe for child support. The court will consider factors like income, assets, number of children, time spent with the child, cost of health insurance, education, and daycare expenses.

But let’s be real: child support can be a hefty burden to bear. That’s why it’s important to have the right family law attorney to ensure you’re paying a fair and reasonable amount. Our family law attorneys will crunch the numbers and make sure you’re not breaking the bank while still fulfilling your obligations. And if you’re the one receiving child support, we’ll fight to make sure you’re getting what you deserve.

Solving Family Disputes Through Mediation

Whether it’s a disagreement over child support or a battle over who gets Aunt Martha’s antique teapot, mediation can help you find a peaceful solution to your family law disputes and legal issues. When it comes to family law matters, sometimes all you need is a little mediation magic. Instead of slinging mud in the courtroom, you and your ex can sit down and hash it out like civilized adults. It’s quicker, cheaper, and less emotionally draining than a full-blown courtroom drama. Plus, you’ll maintain control over the outcome instead of leaving it up to a judge who doesn’t know your family like you do.

Arkansas Family Law FAQs

  • Can I modify child support if my financial situation changes?

    Life is full of surprises, and sometimes that includes changes in our financial situations. If your circumstances change significantly, such as losing a job or facing a medical emergency, you may be able to modify child support. But don’t try to go it alone — let a family law attorney from our team at WH Law guide you through the process.

  • How much does a contested matter cost in Arkansas?

    The cost of a contested matter in Arkansas depends on a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the case, the length of the proceedings, and the attorney’s fees. But don’t worry, a family law lawyer on our team at WH Law will work with you to come up with a cost-effective plan that doesn’t hurt your wallet.

  • Do you have to pay alimony if your wife cheats on you?

    In some cases, a spouse can be denied alimony if they have committed adultery or be obligated to provide alimony if they have engaged in infidelity. However, the legal issue of adultery alone will not decide the spousal support argument.

  • Does a spouse always get half in a divorce case?

    Contrary to popular belief, no Arkansas law says a spouse always gets half in a divorce case. Arkansas is an equitable distribution state, which means the court will divide the property in a way that is fair and just. This doesn’t necessarily mean a 50/50 split. Factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial situation, and contributions to the marriage will be taken into account during the divorce process.
