WHAT MAKES DIVORCE DIFFERENT

Divorce adds a second case inside the custody case.

A contested divorce with children is not just a custody dispute with a different caption. Property, debts, accounts, income, support, valuation, and proposed financial orders all need their own structure.

Information, not legal advice. The workbook organizes your facts and points you to official sources. It does not tell you what strategy to choose, what property is marital, or what result the court should reach.
