What makes divorce different
Divorce adds a second case inside the custody case.
A contested divorce with children is not just a custody dispute with a different caption. Property, debts, accounts, income, support, valuation, and proposed financial orders all need their own structure.

What the divorce notebook adds
The custody system, plus the financial structure a divorce case needs.
This is the more complete workbook when custody and divorce issues are moving together.

|---|---|
| Custody | Best-interest factors, parenting schedules, communications, parenting-time logs, school and medical proof, and proposed custody terms. |
| Property and debts | Assets, accounts, retirement, business interests, liabilities, valuation notes, source documents, and disputed classifications. |
| Support | Income inputs, adjustments, child-support calculator data, alimony or maintenance facts, and the support-related relief requested. |
| Trial proof | Discovery, subpoenas, exhibits, foundation notes, witnesses, testimony outlines, objections, pretrial statement, opening, and closing. |

Information, not legal advice. The workbook organizes your facts and points you to official sources. It does not tell you what strategy to choose, what property is marital, or what result the court should reach.
