Family Law

Divorce and other family law cases are some of the most delicate legal matters. The future lives of individuals and families will be affected by the way the issues are resolved. These difficult times will impact the rest of your life and those of your children. It is important that you secure the representation of an experienced and effective attorney.

Our firm's experience can make the difference in minimizing the negative impact of your divorce or other family law issue. We strive to empower couples to create their own solutions to the issues that confront them. Our experience and know how in creating and crafting agreements on those issues can save time, money and stress for everyone involved, especially the children. We work to protect a parent’s rights as well as to ensure the child’s best interests are maintained.

Sometimes things change after divorce – it may as a result of time, a child’s growth or a parent’s decision. Not all life changes require a new or modified order. But when the change becomes material and substantial, our firm will fully develop the facts to demonstrate to the court why it is in the child’s best interest that the prior provisions for the rights, custody terms or child support require change. Our attorneys are experienced in pursuing and defending post-divorce proceedings, such as:

• Child custody and visitation modifications
• Child support modifications
• Alimony/spousal support modifications
• Other post-decree modifications

When a parent refuses to follow visitation agreements, fails to pay child support or to comply with other court orders, the parent is in contempt of court. Our attorneys are able to pursue or defend court orders of enforcement and contempt proceedings.

A pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement can determine certain results in the event of separation, divorce or death of one of the parties. Pre-marital agreements and post-marital agreements are highly technical and require considerable planning. Should it be challenged, even the slightest mistake can make the entire document null and void. That is why you need an experienced and highly qualified attorney to prepare the agreement.
