Key Components of Divorce Agreements

What to Expect in Your Divorce Agreement

When working with a divorce attorney at Krasner Law, you can expect attention to these critical areas:

Additional Provisions

Every family has unique circumstances that may require additional provisions in their divorce agreement. Our team ensures no critical details are overlooked, addressing issues such as:

Health Insurance: Determining which parent will cover the child’s or spouse’s health insurance and how premiums will be handled.
Education Expenses: Allocating responsibility for private school tuition, tutoring, or college savings plans.
Tax Considerations: Clarifying who will claim children as dependents and how tax liabilities or refunds will be divided.
Pet Custody: Addressing ownership, visitation, and care responsibilities for family pets.

These provisions provide clarity and prevent potential disputes, offering a strong foundation for a smooth transition into post-divorce life. At Krasner Law, we customize every agreement to reflect your priorities, ensuring all terms are clearly defined and legally enforceable.

Child Support

Ensuring that your children are financially supported is a fundamental part of any divorce agreement. New York and New Jersey have specific guidelines for calculating child support, which typically consider:

Each parent’s income
The number of children involved
Custody arrangements
The child’s needs, including education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities

At Krasner Law, we make sure your agreement adheres to these guidelines while accounting for additional expenses such as private school tuition, college savings plans, or extraordinary medical needs. Our goal is to create a support structure that reflects your children’s best interests while being fair and manageable for both parents.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation arrangements are often the most emotionally charged aspects of a divorce agreement. At Krasner Law, we prioritize creating a parenting plan that reflects the best interests of your children while maintaining balance and cooperation between parents.

Custody agreements typically address:

Physical custody: Where the child will live on a day-to-day basis
Legal custody: Which parent will make decisions about education, healthcare, and other significant matters
Visitation schedules: Structured plans for the non-custodial parent, including holidays, vacations, and special occasions

We strive to foster agreements that encourage meaningful relationships between children and both parents, while also accounting for unique factors like school districts, extracurricular activities, and parents’ work schedules.

Spousal Support

Spousal support, often called alimony, is intended to provide financial stability to a lower-earning spouse after the divorce. Determining the appropriate amount and duration of support requires a detailed analysis of several factors, including:

The length of the marriage
Each spouse’s income and earning potential
Contributions to the household, such as caregiving or supporting a spouse’s education
The standard of living established during the marriage

At Krasner Law, we advocate for fair support terms, whether you’re the payer or recipient. We also factor in the potential for changes in circumstances, such as job loss or retirement, and incorporate clauses that address these situations to avoid future conflicts.

Division of Assets and Debts

Equitably distributing marital property and liabilities is one of the most critical aspects of a divorce agreement. At Krasner Law, we start by helping you compile a comprehensive inventory of all assets and debts, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement funds, personal property, and outstanding loans or credit card debt.

Our team works with you to distinguish marital property from individual assets acquired before the marriage or through inheritance. We then evaluate the value of each asset and develop a strategy for fair division, considering factors like income disparities, contributions to the marriage, and future financial needs. Transparency is key, and we ensure all parties fully disclose their financial information to avoid disputes down the road.
