Domestic Relations & Divorce

Domestic Relations & Divorce

If you are faced with difficult decisions and the troubling reality of a potential divorce, we can help. Our attorneys will focus on resolving your distressing issues in a cost-effective and prompt manner. We regularly address and handle all aspects of divorce and domestic relations law. Our attorneys strive to provide clear and personal communication with our clients, and negotiate or litigate to pursue the most advantageous resolution for our clients.

Our practice regularly handles the following matters:

• Adoption
• Child Abuse
• Child Custody, Access
• Child Support
• Contested and Uncontested Divorces
• Divorce based upon adultery, abandonment, constructive desertion and abuse
• Domestic Violence, Protective Order, Peace Orders
• Marital Property and Non-Marital Property Issues (valuation and division of real estate, businesses, retirement and/or pension rights, bank accounts, stocks/bonds, and other personal property)
• Permanent and Temporary Alimony
• Pre-nuptial Agreements
• Separation Agreements

When possible, a written separation agreement that resolves all issues may be negotiated and finalized without the need for protracted litigation. This approach is ideal for many clients, as it reduces legal expenses and emotional turmoil. When the statutory requirements for divorce are met, a separation agreement can be made a part of a judgment of divorce. Unfortunately, not all divorces can be resolved in this fashion. When settlement is not an appropriate or available option, we are skilled and passionate advocates in the courtroom when representing our clients, and we work hard to obtain the best possible outcome.
