Alimony is one of the most frequently fought-over issues in divorce, and while courts and lawyers strive to split marital assets equitably, equitable does not necessarily mean equal. Our lawyers always work to reach a fair agreement between our client and the opposing party.

Whether you are receiving or paying child support, it's important that you keep careful records. Make a note of each check number, the date of receipt/payment, and the amount of the check.

Through the structured process of mediation, you and your spouse can put aside your differences and focus on the one point about which you likely agree your children’s well-being. Our skilled negotiators can help you create a support plan that equitably divides the financial obligations of raising your children.

One important element the court will take into consideration when determining custody is the child's established living pattern in terms of school, home, community, religious institution, and the like. We will make sure we look at all of these factors when building your case.

Do you need help with child custody arrangements in the midst of a separation? Contacting a divorce attorney can help you set up a custody schedule that works for your specific needs and allows each parent to see your children regularly.

We recommend comprehensive documentation when undergoing any attempt at child support modifications. This includes anything related to your change in circumstances, as well as serious attempts to find new employment.

No matter how fair a divorce decree may seem, things do inevitably change, and modifications to the court order (in terms of child custody, child support, and alimony) may end up being in your best interest.

Sometimes litigation is necessary to resolve your family’s disputes. Having a strong litigator by your side can alleviate the uncertainty and stress of the arduous litigation process and help you obtain the most favorable trial outcome. Through tactical trial strategies and dynamic courtroom presence, our skilled litigators successfully represent clients throughout the adversarial litigation process.

Since child custody cases can quickly turn heated, it's important to attempt reaching an equitable solution prior to going to court. Holding out for a judge's ruling has the potential to backfire.

In all family law cases, our goal is to help you get through the legal process as smoothly as possible.
