8. Q&A Discussion | Spousal Support vs. Child Support, Dividing Assets, Infidelity, and Cost of Living

As divorce professionals, one of our biggest challenges is battling misinformation online. We see tons of questions asked in social media groups (such as Facebook) - usually anonymously - that many times elicit concerning responses because no two divorces or families are the same. In this episode, Gabriella E. Martinelli is back on the podcast joining Theresa to discuss some of these questions and our thoughts on each scenario. Through her firm Ever After Wealth®, Gabriella E. Martinelli CDFA® NCPM® CDS® works with individuals and couples going through a family law dispute by providing them with education and support so they are able to achieve and preserve financial independence.

A lot can factor into child support considerations including insurance, private school costs, and so much more. Dividing assets is way more complex than people realize. It is not just based on a list of assets, but can also include factors like how long you were married, equity in the marital home, and financial considerations such as housing for the children.  There are a lot of online calculators that spit out alimony or child support amounts, but they may be inaccurate and are not necessarily applicable in your state.  The Legal Lounge podcast aims to dispel misinformation and downright bad legal information to empower anyone with questions about their family, their children, their finances, their marriage, and the law. As a team focused exclusively on family law matters, we aim to help you not only with the information you need, but also with the hope that your situation has a solution.  Modern Legal is a family law firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
