Every standard Alabama visitation schedule accounts for holiday time and summer break, and courts make a real effort to divide those periods fairly.

Mother's Day always goes to the mother. Father's Day always goes to the father. And those special holiday windows always override whatever regular schedule is in place.

Knowing this in advance helps you plan and protects your most important days.

Business ownership complicates divorce in Alabama in ways many people do not anticipate.

Whether your spouse owns the business or you do, that business may be part of the marital estate and open to division. Third-party co-owners can make things even more complex.

More ownership layers often means more discovery, longer litigation, and greater financial stakes.

In an Alabama divorce, property is divided using equitable division, not automatic 50/50 splitting.

Equitable means fair, and the judge has full discretion to decide what fair looks like based on the facts of your case.

Understanding this distinction changes how you should approach your divorce strategy.

If you have been married, expect your retirement to be divided at some level during a divorce.

In longer marriages, a 50/50 split is common. In shorter marriages, you may be entitled to at least 50% of what was accrued between the date of marriage and the date of filing.

Knowing the formula before you walk into negotiations can protect your financial future.

If you are a non-custodial parent in Alabama, your child lives with the other parent most of the time.

Your visitation schedule will be set by agreement or by a court order, and those two paths look very different.

Agreements give you the power to create a schedule built around your family's actual needs.

When a court is deciding whether a child should be allowed to relocate, one of the most important considerations is what is in the best interest of the child and how the move will impact the child's ability to maintain a relationship with the parent who is not moving.

The easier travel is, the more financial resources that can be contributed, and the reasonableness of extending summer and holiday visitation beyond the normal limits — if the relocating parent is generous in those terms, that can affect a court's decision.

If you are the parent who has visitation rights in Alabama and you receive notice that the other parent plans to relocate with your child, you need to act immediately if you want to keep that child there.

You have the right to file an objection with the court, but it has to be filed. You cannot just notify the other parent and say you disagree — that is not good enough. You have 30 days from the day you receive the notice to file that objection, and then you have the chance to show the court why your child should not move away.

If you are concerned the custody arrangement for your child is no longer in their best interest, the very first thing you need to do is start documenting everything you can.

Keep a calendar of what is occurring in that child's life, of your time with the child, and of the other parent's time with the child. Get in touch with the teachers and counselors of the child and see if they have any concerns.

It is never too soon to start gathering evidence. And once you are convinced it is time to make a change for that child, we will file a petition to modify custody with the court.
