Dissolution of Marriage:
We aim to reduce the stress and anxiety that is often inherent to a divorce. We will meet with you to discuss your particular situation, and advise you of your options and the procedures available to you. We will work together with you to obtain a fair and equitable result. Our representation will include all the issues that typically accompany a divorce, such as custody, child support, alimony, asset and property distribution, liabilities, insurance and education expenses. While we always try to resolve these issues by negotiating a fair settlement, when necessary, we are prepared to litigate and proceed to trial.
Custody and Visitation:
For those who are not married but have children together, our office can help to obtain custody or access orders from the court, as well as handle the accompanying issues of child support, health insurance coverage, and education expenses.
Post Judgment Proceedings:
Just because a divorce or custody case is finalized by agreement or court order, doesn’t mean that problems or new and unforeseen developments will not arise in the future that call for enforcing or modifying these court orders. In these situations a post-judgment motion may be necessary to modify or change access schedules with children, child support, and alimony (if permissible under the judgment). Potential clients should be advised that certain issues are non-modifiable, such as property settlements. We can also file post-judgment motions for contempt when court orders are not being honored.
Once the divorce or custody case is finalized by agreement or court order, problems can still arise enforcing court orders We can evaluate the situation to see if post-judgment motions need to be filed to modify or change access schedules with children, child support, and alimony (if permissible under the judgment), among other issues. However, certain issues are non-modifiable, e.g. property settlement. We can also file post-judgment motions for contempt if court orders are not being honored.
Temporary Restraining Orders:
If you find yourself in a dangerous, abusive, or harmful relationship or situation with a current or former spouse or significant other, you can apply to the court asking for relief from abuse. The court can order a number of things, including no contact by the alleged offending person with the applicant. There are specific requirements that apply to this application, and we can advise if this choice is appropriate for your case as well as represent you at a court hearing that usually follows this application.
