Divorce, Custody and Family Law
Nobody wants a nasty, expensive court battle. But emotions and thorny realities can get in the way of a fair and amicable resolution. Our experience has taught us that the fairest settlement is available only when one is prepared to fight for it. Our thorough and aggressive approach puts clients in a strong position for negotiations - or for the courtroom.
Our Family Law Practice
- Divorce and property division - We work to achieve an equitable division of marital assets and debts. This demands accurate valuations, settling the issue of joint versus separate property, and creative solutions for the marital home, retirement assets, closely held businesses and other complex issues in dividing the estate.
- We handle uncontested divorce, divorce mediation and the special issues of military divorce.
- Child custody and visitation - Your children are worth fighting for, but it is not about "possession." We provide guidance for a reasonable and practical shared custody arrangement that fosters cooperation in your ongoing role as co-parents.
- Child support and spousal support - Child support is determined by a formula; our role is to make sure the court has accurate income information. Temporary spousal support or permanent alimony may or may not be awarded; we work to ensure the amount and duration is fair under statutory guidelines.
- Post-judgment modifications - We step in when circumstances change to argue for or against changes in support, custody or parenting time, including relocation by the primary custody parent.
- Enforcement actions - Our lawyers will aggressively pursue your remedies if the other parent is not paying support or is interfering with visitation.
- Paternity - We represent mothers seeking support, men denying parentage, and fathers asserting custody rights.
- Stepparent adoptions
- Prenuptial agreements
- All family law issues
