Can a divorce be done with out a custody agreement?
Yes and no. A complete divorce resolves custody and child support issues; however, you can still divide property, deal with spousal support, and terminate your marital status (become single again), reserving the custody and child support issues.
Is it true that joint custody mean that the children will have to live with each parent 50% of their time. My husband works 2 hours from our current house and I have more flexibility in my work schedule to take care of the kids. I’d like to have the kids live with me and alternate the weekends with my husband. Having the kids alternate homes every week seems to be a lot for them to digest.
Yes, a divorce can be finalized without a formal custody agreement, but it may complicate matters. Courts prefer clear custody arrangements for the children’s well-being. Without an agreement, the court will decide based on the children’s best interests. It is recommended to have a custody agreement to avoid future disputes. Consulting with a divorce attorney can help ensure all legal aspects, including custody, are properly addressed.
