Family Law Issues in Agriculture
When folks think of the Big D’s that harm multi-generational farm families, Death and Destruction are at the top of mind but oftentimes Divorce is forgotten. After a decade of practicing both family law and agriculture law, hear Cari Rincker’s take on the blending of the two areas of law. This book discusses family and matrimonial issues affecting farmers, ranchers, agri-business owners and food entrepreneurs on a myriad of issues including:
Nuptial agreements
(i.e., both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements);
Equitable distribution vs. community property;
Keeping the farm or ranch business intact in some families;
Children issues such as child support, custody, including residence and decision-making, and parenting time;
Spousal maintenance;
Income determination issues with farmers, ranchers and other business owners;
Animal issues including livestock, equine, companion animals and embryos;
Estate and succession planning issues that may arise in divorce and separation;
Alternative dispute resolution
(e.g., mediation, arbitration);
