Divorce
When a marriage comes to an end, the parties need to make some important decisions. There may be arguments surrounding child support, child custody, alimony, and the division of marital assets and debts. We have experience with everything from an uncontested divorce involving no children and few marital assets, to highly contested matters involving property settlements, spousal support, and custody battles.
We are aggressive in pursuing our clients' best interests. We take the time to learn their goals and understand their situation. That kind of attention allows us to educate them on what to expect and how to protect their families.
Child Custody and Visitation
The best interests of the child dictate how a court determines child custody. Whether it is a part of a separation agreement or a divorce, the creation of a custody arrangement can be difficult. It is important to create a comprehensive and reasonable plan for custody and visitation for your child's future.
Once a divorce is finalized there may still be issues that need resolution. The circumstances of the original parenting plan can change over time. You may need modification of the child custody or support agreements. We can help you reach new arrangements with the other parent.
Child & Spousal Support
The court examines several factors in determining what, if any, child support payments are to be paid following a divorce proceeding. In some circumstances, spousal support, also known as alimony, may also be awarded. Having an attorney present at these proceedings helps ensure that the outcome is fair and manageable. We can help you come to a positive agreement with your spouse regarding these financial matters.
