The Difference

Family Law & Divorce

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What factors does the court look at when awarding custody?
    The paramount consideration for the court is always the best interest of the child, but this can be a nebulous concept. Courts will look at a multitude of factors: the age of the child, the relationship the child has with each parent, the ability of the parents to cooperate, the existence of any abuse or neglect, and even the child’s preference. There is no limit as to what the court can consider when it comes to determining custody.
  • What is the difference between a contested and an uncontested case?
    Contested cases mean that the spouses cannot agree on something (or sometimes, on anything). Depending on how contentious the case is, this might require a formal exchange of documents, multiple hearings, and attempts at mediation before the case can be finalized. An uncontested divorce means the couple has agreed on everything, from the division of their property to children’s issues. These divorce cases are usually disposed of quickly.
  • How much spousal support will the court order?
    While the amount and duration of spousal support will always depend on the facts of your case, there are certain limitations the court has when ordering spousal support. First, it cannot be over 20 percent of a paying party’s gross income, or $5,000.00 each month, whichever is lower. Next, the duration of support will depend on the length of the marriage. For marriages of 10-20 years, spousal support can be up to five years. Marriages between 20-30 years could have seven years of support, while marriages over 30 years could have spousal support ordered for up to ten years.

    “He went above and beyond the call of duty to reunite me with my kids.”
    “Papa Dieye was an amazing attorney. He went above and beyond the call of duty to reunite me with my kids after [my spouse] fled the state with them. Not only did he get my kids back to me, he was able to get an order for child support.”
    - Former Client
    “If I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again.”
    I had a bad experience with a prior attorney who ended up dropping my divorce/custody case mid way and leaving me high and dry to figure it out for myself. I recieved Papa Dieye's (Jay) information from a family friend. Papa Jay is always on top of things and was very prompt with returning phone calls and keeping me in the loop. 2 days after I obtained his legal services we were already in court finalizing my divorce! I have already referred Papa Jay to a handful of people and if I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again. Needless to say it was a very pleasant experience and Mr. Dieye is super nice.

    - Larry
    “When I needed a lawyer - he was the only person that I called.”
    I met Papa via a networking group, and I found him to be very personable and when I needed a lawyer - he was the only person that I called. Papa handled my divorce. I had a lot of questions and he answered them, in a very knowledgeable formation, which did not make me feel intimidated. Papa even was kind enough to give me replies to my ex-husbands questions as he lived in a different state and was not represented.
    - Sharmain
    “I would highly recommend Papa Dieye to anyone.”
    “He is obviously well respected amongst his peers too which was evident by the interactions I saw during the time waiting to go in front of the judge. I would highly recommend Papa Dieye to anyone (well except my ex of course!!) Thank you Papa.”
