Our Family Law Practice
We handle all matters related to divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, alimony or spousal support, and the equitable division of marital property. We work with men and women throughout the divorce process, from the preparation and filing of a complaint for divorce through post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing divorce orders. In addition to parents, we act as advocates for other family members who have an interest in minor children, including grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins.
We handle adoption proceedings, including stepparent adoptions and private placements. We also provide estate planning services for single and divorcing parents, making certain that wills or trusts get updated and that you have a plan in place for the disposition of assets and the care of minor children in the event of your death.
When we handle a divorce or family law matter, we believe that the most important thing we can do is to help you make good decisions. We can help you understand what to expect, in both the long and short term. We will make certain you understand the law and the process, as well as your options and the potential consequences of your choices.
We are strong advocates for our clients, willing to take a case to trial to protect our clients' interests. As a practical matter, however, we have observed that the best solutions often come when you work cooperatively with your ex-spouse. We will help you find a way to reach a positive resolution to your family law issues.
