Divorce
When the state of the marriage is irrefutably broken, divorce is the beginning of the process of dividing property, assets, financial obligations, and removing the conflict and resentment of two people whose lives have been combined through marriage.
Custody and visitation
When children are involved, matters such as parenting time and decision making will play a part in their continued development. Our attorneys can look at the situation involved in order to fight for what is in the best interests of the child or children.
Child Support
Continuing the quality of life for children involved in a divorce is important. Our family law attorneys can fight for what is fair in order to preserve that standard for your children.
Prenuptial Agreements & Pre-Divorce Planning
Meeting with an attorney with your soon-to-be partner, or even your spouse who is considering an amicable split is important. This will ensure fair and smooth division of property and any assets between you without wasting the time of the court and incurring serious debts in litigation.
Post-Decree Issues
From child support modification and termination to relocation, change in parenting time, and other adjustments to your post-marital decree, we know that life continues to change well after the moment that your divorce has been finalized.
Same-Sex Divorce
The landscape of what is seen as a legal union of people and their protection under the law has changed in recent years, however not all marriages are guaranteed a happily ever after. Same-sex couples experience the same challenges that traditional couples have and in no way should their rights be treated lightly. Our divorce lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients regardless of sexual orientation.
Mothers and Fathers Rights
Decisions of custody, parenting time, child support, and all the other elements of a divorce involving children are often very nuanced. No broad-brush decision by the court works based on gender, and the best interests of the child should always come first. We can explore different strategies in order to protect your rights as a parent, regardless of sex, so that your child has a chance at continuing on with their best life, regardless of who gets custody. From Court Family Investigations, Parental Rights Evaluations, Child Legal Representation, and a myriad of other experts, we can explore strategies and methods to represent you best and argue your case.
Guardianship
To determine decision-making and the protection of the rights of not only minors but also elders, we work with you to protect your loved ones.
