this has to do with divorce papers

the phrase means that there might be different options you might be able to try.

Options beyond those listed are or may be available.
The purpose behind such phrasing is to decide that certain options ARE clearly possible, but that there may be other options, not listed.
Thus, if the sentence read: "Our options for vacation are, but are not limited to, these three: Paris, London, or Sheboygan"; then Chernobyl might still be an option, though it might not be.
It's basically an out, making the party who includes the list free to choose outside it.

Depends on the context....usually with divorce it means that whatever asset they're talking about you can get "more of".
Like......if your ex is entitled to: No less than, but not limited to, 4 days each with with the children". It means that the two of you can decide to let the children spend more time with him/her.
It's just saying that there's a set limit you cannot go UNDER for whatever item it is but you can go over if you decide.

They have to spell out some things and this is a loophole that allows tehm to add more later on, even though it is not specifically spelled out in the papers
"1.3 g) anti-trust or competition matters, including but
not limited to cases alleging that a licensing practice is an
abuse of intellectual property rights having an adverse
effect on competition."
They have the right to go beyond

Depends on to what you are referring to. It means not limited.
The husband will Dr. Soandso for Jane's dental appointments including but not limited to braces. So in other words if she also needs a dental appliance you must pay for that too.

It really depends on EXACTLY what is being mentioned...
but basically it's just a fancy phrase for giving examples of something.. and saying.. these are not the ONLY examples, there are other possibilities...

that means it can include other things. kind of gives lee-way, so to speak.
EXAMPLE...as a parent, your duties include, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, providing housing for your children. Of course you have to provide them with a home, but that is not the ONLY thing you should do as a parent.

It is talking about the MINIMUM the person is entitled to, or has liabilities for, has to pay, etc. It is inserted to allow the party to ask for what ever is named AND MORE.
Good luck. Sounds like it's a difficult time.

that's how companies screw you over. It's a catch .22 meaning that something is covered by regulations and that's not all that's covered. It means the rules and regulations cover a list that goes on and on and are not necessarily writen on the contract.

It means that whatever is in the preceeding clause or sentence, there may be other items / issues in addition to what's listed.
