How to divorce

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
If your wife hasn't exposed your son to anything inappropriate, the issues of managing conservatorship, child support and possession and access will be determined by the evidence and the law. The court would determine what is in the best interest of the child, not based on the mom's participation in consentual adult activity, but on how you two have parented the child. Who gets the child up in the mornings? Who feeds the child? Who takes the child shopping for new clothes? Who take the child to the doctor and dentist? Who meets with the teachers? Etc. If you both provide equal parenting, some courts will consider a 50/50 possession schedule. You have to be careful when you approach the court with accusations against your spouse. Shaming the other parent because of their consensual adult activity doesn't always get you what you want. It's just one of many factors the court MIGHT consider in determining what's best for the child. The focus should be on the child and on how the two of you have been parents for the child's whole life.

You are entitled to reimbursement for the value of the house on the date of marriage; the community (you and your wife) are entitled each to one-half the appreciation or depreciation in value which occurred during the marriage. You will need a lawyer to help you handle this aspect of your divorce the line of cases which covers the issue is called Moore-Marsden.
