Domestic Relations


Whenever a legal dispute arises involving your family, you need assertive attorneys who will simultaneously safeguard your interests and protect the dignity and privacy of your loved ones. We understand that domestic relations cases require consideration of not just your best interest, but also the best interests of your children and the other people who depend on you. Family litigation often means altering or severing close relationships, which makes life exceedingly stressful. Due to the emotional nature of these situations, the parties involved tend to encounter difficulty resolving these issues on their own.  That’s where we can help.

We have years of legal experience and can assist you with any legal dispute pertaining to domestic relations, such as:
• divorce and annulment
• child support and spousal support
• child custody and visitation
• property division and complex financial issues
• paternity actions
• adoptions
• guardianships

A lot of people try to represent themselves in domestic relations cases.  If you don’t have legal experience and training, the process can be frustrating.  Failure to follow court rules may delay your case, and a lack of familiarity may cause you to overlook inevitable situations that will come back to haunt you.  For example, who’s responsible for paying a forgotten marital debt after you divorce?  What rights do you have when a custodial parent moves out of state or denies you visitation with your children?  How do you untangle your marital assets to achieve complete independence from your former spouse?  Who makes the decision about where your children go to school, attend church, or receive medical treatment?  Is joint custody feasible with your uncooperative former spouse?  

Our expert attorneys are ready to answer your questions.  If we think you can handle your case on your own, we will tell you so.  If the circumstances indicate that you need to comprehensive legal representation, we are prepared to stand by your side from beginning to end.  If we think you are capable of handling most of the work yourself but need us to assist with certain tasks, we may recommend limited scope representation, which is a cost-effective method for attorneys to provide specific services to folks of limited means.  A lawyer from our firm will work with you to help find the best solution for your situation.
