Hayes Law Firm Upstate Attorneys, LLC in Greenville, SC, can answer many commonly asked questions about the legal process you are facing.
1. Is this your agreement
2. Do you believe it treats both of you fairly
(Keep in mind you may not like all of the agreement, but overall, do you believe, under the circumstances as they exist today or at filing, that it is fair)
3. Do you believe there was full financial disclosure?
(E.g., have you both filled out financial declarations? If not, do you believe you are sufficiently aware of the other’s income, assets, and debts to be able to say that you think the agreement to be fair?)
If your case also involves a divorce on a one-year continuous separation, the following questions will be asked:
Usually, the Court will ask you, before starting the hearing, whether there is any possibility of reconciliation.
When did you separate?
Have you remained separated continuously since that time, without reconciliation or cohabitation?
Are you asking the Court to grant you a divorce based upon a one-year continuous separation?
If your maiden or former married name is being resumed, you can expect the Court or your attorney to ask you questions similar to the following:
In obtaining “affidavits,” the Declarant (person giving the statement) should provide the information below. All affidavits should be double-spaced, typed, signed, and notarized and should be based on the individual’s first-hand observations and not hearsay.
If the biological parents agree to change a child’s name, it is considered uncontested, and the name change will typically be granted. However, the Court still requires the appointment of a Guardian ad Litem to represent the child’s interests, which results in additional costs.
