Divorce and Family Law
The end of a marriage is complicated, emotional, and often is a misnomer. If there are children involved, the marriage may be terminated, but the relationship and interaction between the divorced parents and the family members will last long after the ink on the divorce decree is dry.
Whether your divorce is contested by your spouse, or uncontested where you both reach an agreement outside of the courthouse, we can help you each step of the way to protect your identify, your remaining assets, and the ability to be with your children on a regular basis. Child custody, alimony, support, visitation, and even paternity are all issues where we can provide you with solid advice to avoid long and expensive litigation, and to meet the needs of our clients.
Alimony is another hotly contested part of divorce law, and can lead to further battles involving the collection of past due amounts. Call us to discuss options on either changing payments, or collecting what is rightfully owed to you. Along with alimony, child support is another debt that often ends up growing because of late or unmade payments, or requests for reductions. We are familiar with the court guidelines, and we can help you find a suitable balance that both parents can live with.
Often the most fought after and litigated part of divorce right after child custody and visitation is the division of property and assets. We specialize in finding hidden assets, determining value of family or closely held businesses, and insuring that an equitable division has been made between the two parties.
Many people see a prenuptial agreement as an agreement in the event of the failure of a marriage, but it goes much further than that. It can provide both sides with a comfort level of support or retaining ownership of certain assets brought into a marriage, and allows forward growth without worrying about past decisions.
