How does the divorce process change when a minor child is involved?
A. If a minor child or children are involved there is a longer waiting period before a divorce is final. Additional issues must be addressed as well such as; custody, child support, and visitation. There may also be requirements of parenting classes or other Court ordered programs. If custody is contested, a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) may be appointed to the children at cost to the parents. A Guardian Ad Litem is an attorney who represents the interests of a child.
