Our Family Law Services Include:
Divorce and Legal Separation
Divorce is one of life's most challenging experiences, involving complex legal, financial, and emotional considerations. Our experienced divorce attorneys guide clients through every aspect of the divorce process, from initial filing through final decree. We handle both contested and uncontested divorces, working to achieve fair resolutions while minimizing conflict and protecting your interests. Whether your divorce involves complex property division, business valuations, or high-conflict custody disputes, we have the experience and resources to handle even the most challenging cases.
Child Custody and Visitation
The welfare of your children is always our top priority in custody matters. We understand that custody disputes are emotionally charged and can have lasting effects on both parents and children. Our attorneys work diligently to develop custody arrangements that serve the best interests of your children while protecting your parental rights. We handle all types of custody issues, including initial custody determinations, modifications of existing orders, relocation disputes, and enforcement of custody agreements. Our goal is to help you maintain meaningful relationships with your children while ensuring their safety and well-being.
Child Support
Ensuring that children receive adequate financial support is crucial for their health, education, and overall well-being. Our attorneys have extensive experience in calculating, establishing, and modifying child support orders. We work to ensure that support arrangements are fair and appropriate based on both parents' financial circumstances and the children's needs. We also handle enforcement actions when support payments are not being made as ordered, and we can help modify support orders when circumstances change significantly.
Spousal Support and Alimony
Determining appropriate spousal support requires careful analysis of numerous factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, their respective financial needs, and their contributions to the marriage. Our attorneys advocate for fair spousal support arrangements, whether you're seeking support or defending against excessive claims. We understand the financial realities that both spouses face after divorce and work to achieve support arrangements that are reasonable and sustainable for all parties involved.
Property Division and Asset Protection
Dividing marital assets can be one of the most complex aspects of divorce, particularly in cases involving significant assets, business interests, retirement accounts, or complex financial arrangements. Our attorneys have extensive experience in property valuation, asset tracing, and equitable distribution. We work with financial experts, appraisers, and other professionals when necessary to ensure accurate valuations and fight to secure your fair share of marital property while protecting your separate assets.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
Domestic violence is a serious issue that requires immediate legal intervention to protect victims and their children. Our attorneys have extensive experience in obtaining emergency protective orders and representing clients in domestic violence proceedings. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and provide compassionate support while aggressively advocating for your safety and protection. We also help victims navigate the legal system and connect them with additional resources and support services.
Adoption
Adoption is a joyful process that creates permanent legal relationships between parents and children. However, the legal requirements for adoption can be complex and vary depending on the type of adoption involved. Our attorneys guide families through all types of adoption proceedings, including agency adoptions, private adoptions, stepparent adoptions, and international adoptions. We ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the adoption process proceeds as smoothly as possible, allowing families to focus on the joy of welcoming a new family member.
Paternity
Establishing paternity is important for both legal and emotional reasons, as it creates legal rights and responsibilities between fathers and children. Our attorneys handle all aspects of paternity cases, including voluntary acknowledgments and contested paternity proceedings. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and work to resolve paternity issues efficiently while protecting the rights of all parties involved, including the children.
Grandparents' Rights
Grandparents play important roles in children's lives, and in certain circumstances, they may have legal rights to seek visitation or even custody of their grandchildren. Our attorneys help grandparents understand their legal options and represent them in proceedings to establish or protect their relationships with their grandchildren. We also help parents who are facing grandparent visitation claims understand their rights and options.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide important protections for both spouses by clearly defining financial rights and responsibilities. Our attorneys help couples draft comprehensive agreements that protect their individual interests while supporting their relationship goals. We ensure that these agreements are properly executed and legally enforceable, providing peace of mind for both parties.
