Handing All Of Your Family Law Needs With Compassion, Care And Skill
Family law matters require sensitivity and skill. We provide caring guidance through every step of your case. Our priority is always to uphold your rights and your family’s well-being. We have the experience to handle a wide range of family law issues, including:
- Divorce: When you are going through a divorce, you will have to make important decisions that will have long-lasting effects for all the parties involved, including children. We protect your financial interests in the division of property, and we assert your rights in custody, visitation and other divorce matters.
- Child custody/visitation: We assist individuals with child custody and visitation issues related to divorce and for third parties (e.g., grandparents and siblings) interested in obtaining custody or visitation. We keep the best interests of your children at the center of every consideration, as we strive to protect your rights as a parent.
- Child support: Child support determinations can be affected by your individual circumstances. We will articulate your needs to the court to ensure that you collect sufficient child support as a custodial parent or to prevent unmanageable obligations.
- Alimony (spousal maintenance): We represent individuals seeking alimony, as well as defending against alimony obligations. Contact us for guidance about what the court looks at in determining whether to grant alimony, as well as a realistic assessment of potential outcomes in your case.
- Modifications: We handle the modification of existing child custody, child support, and alimony orders after a divorce. If you are interested in relocation or you have experienced a change in circumstances affecting custody or support obligations, we can seek or defend against a modification on your behalf.
- Domestic violence: We represent individuals seeking to secure or defend against protective orders in domestic violence and abuse cases. Please contact us for a confidential consultation.
- Prenuptial agreements: If you are about to get married or remarried and want to protect your future financial interests, a prenuptial agreement is an option to explore. Properly crafted, this agreement can protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Paternity: Depending on the outcome of a paternity test, these cases raise issues of child custody, visitation, and child support. If you are interested in establishing paternity or want to defend against it, we can help protect your rights.
We are ready to guide you through these challenging processes. Our family law attorneys listen carefully to your concerns. Our comprehensive approach ensures we address all aspects of your family law concerns. We work hard to secure a positive outcome for you.
