Addressing Your Legal Concerns During Your Divorce

Do you have questions about specific issues related to your divorce? Our lawyers can answer your questions and help you understand the best ways to address issues such as:

• Child Custody: We can help you determine how you and your co-parent will share in the allocation of parental responsibilities, and if necessary, we can advocate for sole custody to ensure that you will be able to meet your children's needs. We will also help you establish workable parenting time schedules and determine what other issues to include in your parenting plan.
• Child Support: All parents have the responsibility of providing for their children's financial needs. We can help you make sure child support is calculated correctly in your case so that you and the other parent will both be contributing to your children's expenses.
• Spousal Support: If you are concerned about your ability to support yourself after your divorce, we can provide guidance on whether you may be eligible to receive ongoing support from your spouse. We can also assist you if you are being asked to pay spousal maintenance.
• Asset Division: Determining how to divide the property you own with your spouse can be a complicated matter. We will work with you to evaluate all of your property and reach agreements that will protect your financial interests.
• Collaborative Law: Working together with your spouse to negotiate a divorce settlement can help minimize conflict and avoid costly proceedings in court. We will advise you on the best steps to take to negotiate agreements while protecting your interests.
