What issues does a divorce court decide as part of a divorce action?
In addition to dissolving the bonds of matrimony, a divorce court will address the issues of property division (both real estate and personal property), parental rights and responsibilities for minor children (including child support), spousal support (also called alimony), attorney fees, and a name change for either party requesting that a name be changed or a former name restored. Not all of these issues will apply to all divorces.
