A Woman’s Rights in a Portland Divorce

Portland Divorce Attorney

Generally speaking, men and women share equal rights in a divorce. The law has been set up to offer protection to the rights of both parties at the end of a marriage, enabling the fair distribution of property and spousal support and child custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of the child, targeted at keeping both parents involved as much as possible. Before you file for divorce, it is important to understand your particular rights. As a woman, you may share the same rights as your spouse on paper, but working with an attorney is the only way to guarantee that these rights are fully protected through the entire divorce process.
