How are child custody and support handled in an uncontested Guam divorce?

Handling Child Custody and Support in an Uncontested Guam Divorce

In an uncontested Guam divorce, if child custody and support are involved, the parties must come to their own agreements on these matters. We then incorporate these agreements into a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) based on your instructions.

Key Considerations:

• Custody Arrangements: Where the children will live and attend school.
• Visitation: Schedule for when the noncustodial parent will visit.
• Child Support: Monthly payments, medical care expenses, and college costs.
• Communication: Guidelines for how the noncustodial parent will communicate with the children.
• Religious Upbringing: Any agreements related to the children’s religious education.

Requirements and Process:

1. Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA): The agreed-upon terms for custody and support are detailed in the MSA. This document specifies custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and child support amounts.

2. Court Order: The MSA, including the custody and support terms, is incorporated into the divorce decree signed by a judge. Once incorporated, these provisions become a court order that must be followed by both parties.

3. Legal Advice: We will draft a parenting plan based on the agreements reached by you and your spouse. However, in an uncontested divorce,  we do not provide legal advice as to what a judge might order if you battled over custody and support in court. For legal guidance as to what you might be entitled to under the law, parties should seek advice from a competent attorney. But such advice is not included in an uncontested divorce.

Our service ensures that your agreed-upon terms are legally binding and enforceable, providing a smooth and cost-effective process for those who have reached mutual agreements.
