How is matrimonial property divided — what about a house bought before marriage?

Property acquired before marriage is 'personal property' and stays with the owner. Property acquired during marriage, plus earned income, is matrimonial and split equally. Proof of origin is critical — we help inventory the assets and gather supporting documentation.

How does the court set child support — can it be increased later?

Courts weigh both parents' earning capacity, the child's standard of living, and age-appropriate expenses. If circumstances change later (e.g., the child starts at a private school), a petition to increase support can be filed.
