Is he paying support to you for the child? There are two basic ways to go: uncontested, or contested. Uncontested is when you both agree on the resolution of all of the issues, and contested is when there is just one issue, or more, that the parties do not agree upon. If it is uncontested, the cost will be much less. So, try to agree with him as to shared parenting, a time sharing plan, the division of assets and debts. The amount of child support should also be agreed to, but there is a specific statute that must be followed.

Generally speaking, any assets accumulated during the marriage are equally divided in a divorce. Assets accumulated prior to marriage are not divisible in a divorce.
