Family Law
We guide spouses and families through divorce and advocate for the rights of our clients.
Family law encompasses a host of marital and domestic relations issues. Many of these issues can be addressed and resolved amicably while others require assertive litigation or even court-ordered protection and police intervention. In each case, we bring compassion, understanding, and a deep knowledge of the law to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Marriage, Adoptions & Divorce
Before wedding vows are exchanged or after a marriage breaks down, there are a number of legal issues spouses – and families – can encounter. Over the years, our attorneys have successfully navigated our clients through all of them:
- Amicable and Contested Divorce
- Division of Marital Property
- Parenting Time
- Child Custody & Child Support
- Spousal Support (formerly known as alimony)
- Property Division
We utilize mediation, negotiation, counseling, and dispute resolution whenever feasible, but when solutions cannot be achieved out of court, we are ready to engage in litigation to preserve and advance our clients’ interests.
Divorce Involving a Business
When spouses own a business together, or when that business comprises a significant marital asset, a divorce can impact the financial well-being of all involved. We assist our clients in protecting the value of their business interest. We also seek to ensure appropriate division of stock options, company-sponsored retirement benefits, deferred compensation, executive perks, and employee benefits.
Child Abuse & Domestic Violence
When the safety of a spouse or child is at risk, our attorneys move quickly to involve the courts and law enforcement, by means of:
- Personal Protection Orders
- Guardianship & Conservatorship
- Juvenile Delinquency
- Child Abuse & Neglect
For individuals who feel powerless to defend themselves, we step in to advocate on their behalf and empower them during the process.
