When your child is a toddler, his or her entire world revolves around you and your partner. Whether you were married or partnered when your child was a little tyke -- or living separately and apart -- your little one depended on you and your ex for everything.
When your spouse doesn’t fulfill your need for intimacy
Being in a fulfilling marriage relationship is primarily about intimacy. Although you and your spouse are also partners in business, family and friendship, if you don't have a deep connection, you could be left wondering whether you're wasting your time and happiness on someone who isn't compatible or capable of meeting your needs.
Alimony laws are changing
Many divorces occur in Fort Worth, Texas, and Tarrant, Texas. When they do, a chief concern of those getting divorced is who will get the stuff and the money. After all, both former partners are looking at their futures, and recognizing that they live in a material world where it takes cold hard cash to pay for the necessities of life. Yet financial matters like alimony, long a part of family law, are being addressed differently than they used to be.
Can children request a change in their custody?
Residents of Fort Worth, Texas, and Tarrant, Texas, often find themselves in child custody situations. Some of those situations are the result of the parents getting divorced or separating if never married. In each case, child custody arrangements are made by the parents themselves or by the court. Either way, a challenge that often arises is when the children say that they want to live with the current noncustodial parent. Many parents have questions about what effect that can have.
