This question is complex and the answer is different for everyone, but one thing that everyone can agree on is that the children involved deserve to be treated with respect. This means that we should be careful not to generalize too much when talking about a “broken home.”

The American Psychological Association's report on "What Is the Best Interest of the Child?" states, "…a single-parent household or a home with two cohabiting parents may present risks or benefits to children in comparison with those associated with two married parents." The APA also notes that "the single-parent family is not inherently dysfunctional" and "the data do not support the 'stereotype' of the single-parent household being an inherently dysfunctional family type."

Many people worry about their children growing up in a broken home, but what does that really mean? A broken home can take many forms: a single parent raising children through divorce or death, same sex families, blended families, blended families without divorce, divorce without remarriage… Each of these situations have their own unique set of risks and benefits.

What is the best state to do joint custody?

  What is the best state to do joint custody? Tim Cella used to work at several law firms I think the law requires that you do joint custody in the state in which you are residing. You reside in the state where you are domiciled, meaning you have the subjective intent to remain there. I don’t think you can just pick and choose what state you can do joint custody. With that being said, if you’re moving states, please keep in mind that joint custody is a complex part of family law. Generally speaking, the states that are the most favorable to joint custody are those that promote a relationship between both parents and the child, and that work to protect the rights of both parents and the child. I believe all states will want to do this. I know that some states require a period of  mediation  or a parenting plan before joint custody is granted, and other states may have a preference for joint custody over sole custody. Additionally, some states require a court order for join...

What are the tax implications of money in a pre-nuptial agreement?

So the tax implications of money in a prenuptial agreement depend on the specific terms and conditions outlined in the pre-nuptial agreement. Generally speaking, prenuptial agreements may include provisions related to property division, alimony, and other financial matters that could impact taxes. For example, if a prenuptial agreement outlines how property will be divided in case of divorce, this could impact the tax consequences of any transfers or sales of property. Similarly, if the agreement includes provisions related to alimony payments, these payments may be tax-deductible for t...
