Legal Help With Divorce-Related Issues

We can help you understand your rights as you proceed with your divorce, and we will advise you about your best options for resolving disagreements and completing your legal requirements. We can assist with:

• Types of divorce - We can explain the steps followed during either a contested or uncontested divorce. We can also advise you on whether a legal separation may be a preferable alternative to divorce.
• The divorce process - We can represent you throughout every stage of your divorce, including filing a divorce petition that cites irreconcilable differences as the grounds for divorce, gathering information through discovery, petitioning for temporary relief, and providing representation in court hearings.
• Divorce resolution options - We can help you negotiate a divorce settlement or reach agreements with your spouse using mediation or collaborative law. If you are unable to reach a settlement, we can provide you with representation in divorce litigation.
• Complex divorce - We can work with you to address complex financial issues, including business valuation, protection of professional practices, and division of high-value assets. We can also help you determine your options for resolving disputes in a high-conflict divorce, and we can help you protect your financial interests when getting a divorce in or near retirement.
• Property issues - We can help you understand your rights regarding the division of marital assets, including addressing valuable property such as real estate or pension benefits and retirement accounts. We can also work with you to determine whether you or your spouse will be eligible to receive spousal support.
• Child issues - We will work to ensure that your children's best interests are protected when making decisions about child custody and the allocation of parental responsibilities. We will help you draft a parenting plan that will define your parental roles and responsibilities and include a schedule for the parenting time you and your ex-spouse will spend with your children. We will also ensure that all relevant factors are considered when determining child support obligations, including non-minor support that will help your children pursue a college education.
• Modifications and enforcement - After your divorce is complete, we can assist in petitioning for modifications to your divorce decree or judgment based on changes in circumstances for you, your ex-spouse, or your children. We can also help you understand your options if your ex-spouse is not following the terms of your divorce.
