Our team has a wide range of experience and knowledge across the entire scope of family law and family law services.
Family Law
Family law covers domestic legal matters, including divorce, child custody, adoption, and more.
Divorce
Our attorney can represent you in your divorce to make sure that property, assets, and wealth are divided fairly. We can also negotiate for spousal or child support and child custody.
Adoption
From filing the paperwork to representing you in court during the final adoption process, our attorney can support you through every step of growing your family.
Appeals
If you are unhappy with a judgment regarding a family law matter, our legal team can guide you through the process of filing an appeal and building an argument to get the court’s decision overturned.
Child Custody
An effective parenting plan includes a child custody arrangement that prioritizes the best interests of the child. Our lawyer can help negotiate a fair agreement, visitation schedule, or modification.
Collaborative Law
Collaborative law is an alternative dispute resolution method. Instead of litigation, divorce agreements are finalized through a more cooperative approach involving attorneys, financial experts, and mediators.
Domestic Violence Orders of Protection
If you have been harmed or threatened by a spouse, partner, significant other, or family member, our attorney can help you petition the courts for a domestic violence order of protection.
Family Dispute Mediation
Mediation allows for dispute resolution without court proceedings. This method is more private and can be effective if parties are amicable and cooperative.
Grandparent Visitation Rights
If a judge determines that it is in the child’s best interest to spend time with their grandparents, a court-mandated visitation order can be put into place.
High Net Worth Divorce
High net worth divorce cases describe situations where a couple has a net worth of $1 million or more. This designation usually involves couples who own businesses, multiple properties, or complex assets.
International Family Law
When family law disputes involve family members who live in different countries, international family law applies.
Legal Separation
A legal separation provides a binding agreement related to property division, child custody, and financial support without divorcing or legally ending the marriage.
Maintenance
Also known as spousal support, maintenance is a form of financial relief that can be requested as part of a divorce agreement.
Marriage & Civil Unions
Marriage is a legal union recognized by the state and federal governments. Civil unions provide couples with a joint legal status that is solely recognized by the state. This difference impacts qualifications for certain benefits, including tax reductions.
Mediation
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method where the involved parties and their attorneys collaborate to reach an agreement that is then finalized by a judge.
Paternity
Paternity is an essential component of family law as it legally establishes a man as the father of a child. Our lawyer can assist with formally requesting paternity testing as part of fair child support and child custody arrangements.
Pet Custody
If couples own pets, a custody agreement can be established during divorce proceedings. This plan can include physical custody schedules and financial obligations, like splitting the costs of veterinary care.
Pre & Postnuptial Agreements
Pre and postnuptial agreements provide financial clarity for couples when one or both spouses own businesses, have significant family assets, or bring substantial wealth into the relationship.
Visitation Rights
When a parent does not have custody of their child, they can petition for court-ordered visitation time as a way to foster a safe and structured relationship.
