- Restraining OrderRestraining orders and CPOs have similar results but are very different legal tools. A restraining order is typically issued during a divorce or separation proceeding to protect a victim from an abusive spouse. It will require the abuser to stay away from the victim and to refrain from harassing the victim during the divorce or separation proceedings. The victim and the victim’s attorney typically must file a motion for contempt of court against the abuser in the event of a violation of the restraining order. The police aren’t in charge of enforcement.
- Tax LawAssets complicate a divorce, and couples dealing with significant amounts of assets, businesses, or property will need to understand the implications of the divorce. Business values are tied to cash flow, liabilities, and receivables. The ability to separate these values properly requires experience and a full understanding of accounting, finance, and tax implications. When dividing assets in a divorce, the tax implications of this division should be understood. Tax planning and a full understanding of the options available should be undertaken. The division of assets in a divorce can also effect spousal support.
