Solutions Tailored to Your Needs
We understand that no two families are exactly the same. With extensive knowledge in all family law matters, we can tailor a divorce agreement to meet your specific needs and circumstances. Some of the issues we consider when making a divorce agreement include:
- Do you have a prenuptial agreement?
- Do you qualify for spousal support or alimony?
- Do you have children? If so, how can we form a child custody agreement that ensures both parents have equal parental rights and responsibilities after the divorce?
- What marital property do we need to consider when determining the division of assets?
- Are you or your spouse in the military? How will this affect child custody and other aspects of your divorce?
- Are you or your spouse considering relocating to another city or state?
- Do you or your spouse own a business or have an extensive network of investment accounts?
- What is your income, and how does this factor into child support calculations?
Divorce Mediation and Litigation
Throughout our practice, we have found that divorces conclude more quickly and effectively when the separating couple can decide issues on their own. We represent clients in divorce mediation to help negotiate an agreement with your spouse that represents both of your interests. If your case does go to trial, we will vigorously represent you in court.
