A divorce can leave California residents with legal bills and children to raise on a single income. However, it can also provide a person with a significant asset in the form of the marital home. In many cases, a custodial parent will keep the home to provide stability for any children a couple had while married. Every time a mortgage payment is made, a homeowner increases his or her equity in that asset.
How to provide for children while unemployed
When a noncustodial parent loses his or her job, it doesn't mean that he or she isn't responsible for providing for his or her child. Instead, it means work with the custodial parent and the family court to create a solution that serves the best interest of the child. Family courts in California and other states may monitor the progress that the unemployed parent is making finding a new job.
