Are you and your significant other considering remarriage during the month of February, maybe even Valentine’s Day? Congratulations! Amidst all the excitement and busyness of the wedding plans have you thought whether a prenuptial agreement may be necessary? What about child support? What happens to your child support responsibilities? Let us share some tips for you and your future spouse in regard to your remarriage and child support.
- You need to begin by consulting with your lawyer. Before you remarry, it is important that you understand the legal implications of your decision on your child support obligations. Your lawyer can advise you on the laws in your state and help you navigate any potential issues.
- You need to review your current child support agreement. Make sure you understand the terms of your current child support agreement and how they may be affected by your remarriage.
- You need to consider a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement can protect your assets and clarify financial responsibilities in the event of a divorce. It can also be used to address child support in the event of a remarriage.
- You need to communicate with your ex-spouse. It is important to have open and honest communication with your ex-spouse about your plans to remarry and how it may affect your child support obligations.
- You need to be prepared for a possible modification of child support. Remarriage can lead to changes in income and expenses, which can affect child support payments. Be prepared to provide financial information to the court and work with your ex-spouse to come to a fair agreement.
- You need to keep the best interest of your child in mind. Always put the best interest of your child first when considering remarriage and child support.
