The divorce process can be difficult, and in addition to the strong emotions that come with the end of a long-term relationship, it may involve a variety of legal complications and financial concerns. We will work to make this process as easy as possible for you, ensuring that all legal issues are handled properly so that you can focus on moving forward after your marriage has been legally dissolved.
We have the experience to ensure that the rights & well-being of your children are protected.
Family law cases involving child custody can be especially difficult for everyone involved, and the breakdown of the relationship between parents may result in significant conflict and disagreements about what is best for children. We can help you focus on finding solutions that will provide for your children's best interests.
As you work to address child-related issues, we will help you put a parenting plan in place that will meet your family's needs, while also addressing issues related to child support, parental relocation, post-divorce modifications, and more.
