Do I stop paying child support on my child’s 18th Birthday?

Not always. Child support may continue even after the child is 18 if he or she is enrolled in high school or post secondary education or if he or she is unable to become self-sufficient due to disability. Generally, if the child is still in school there is a requirement that the child be attending in full time studies and making passing grades.

Can I buy a house?

It is wise to avoid making any major purchases during the divorce. Further, until the divorce judgment is granted, any property purchased may be subjected to a claim by your spouse, even if it is purchased in your sole name after your separation (depending on your jurisdiction). You should talk with your divorce Lawyer / Attorney about the timing of this purchase during your settlement.

What property gets divided?

Property is divided based on the laws in your jurisdiction. The laws will address what is considered matrimonial assets and what is exempt. Much debate and legal fees can be spent arguing these non black and white issues, so things to consider are:

  • Inheritances
  • Gifts
  • Businesses
  • Personal Injury Settlements
