A divorce is one of the most difficult experiences in a person's life. Although no one enters a marriage anticipating it will end in divorce, situations change and couples grow apart. While divorce may be the best option, it can still be an overwhelming process. Divorce becomes even more complex when children are involved or when the marriage involves high income or valuable assets.
Resolving issues related to child custody and visitation is often the most disputed process in divorce proceedings. When children are involved, the custodial schedule can vary greatly depending on the relationship between the parents. At times, one parent may request unreasonable custody arrangements.
In most divorce or separation cases, it is necessary for one parent to provide financial support to the other parent, which is the result of one of two scenarios. 1 One parent earns significantly more than the other parent and the parties have shared physical custody of the child/children. Or, 2 one parent has primary physical custody of the children and the other parent has partial physical custody.
One of the biggest concerns when contemplating a divorce is the fact that you will now be supporting two households on the same income, or incomes that previously supported one household.
Regardless of the situation you were in before the divorce/separation, dual or single income family, at Sweeney & Neary we have the knowledge, experience and skill-set to help you navigate this difficult aspect of your new life, whether you are the obligor (the spouse paying support) or the obligee (the spouse receiving support).First, it is important to understand the differences between spousal support, alimony pendente lite, and alimony.

When possible, it is always preferable to discuss an amicable resolution and settlement of all ancillary financial claims relevant to a divorce.
A marital settlement agreement (also known as a "property settlement agreement") is a written agreement that provides the parties with an efficient means to resolving the issues of a divorce proceeding, such as the division of marital assets and liabilities, alimony, APL/support payments, child support, legal fees and other rights.

I met with Colleen Neary for a $350 consultation and her vibe was rude, uncaring and snarky. She even asked me if I had ever “been diagnosed with ADD?”...to which I said “no, I’m sorry but my case is very sad and very complicated, so I’m trying to speed through it within the hour allotted”. I was so disappointed and disgusted that I didn’t even pretend to shake her hand at the end and neither did she. The next morning I emailed her assistant, who was very kind, with my feedback on our meeting. To Colleen’s credit she did respond, but only to say that she agreed that “our personalities
