Divorce is hard. Divorce is undoubtedly one of the most difficult things anyone can go through. A mix of emotions run through you. The stakes are high. You don’t want to lose what you’ve worked hard for. You want to get to the other side of this as you try to keep the rest of your life as normal as possible. You want to be able to function like a normal person. So, one of the wisest decisions you can make is to hire a skilled divorce attorney to take the load off your shoulders.

 

Your divorce and family lawyers will take on this burden for you. You need  rational, strategic, and well-thought-out approaches to your divorce case. We are problem solvers. We are thorough in analyzing divorce issues like alimony, retirement, fighting for custody, and complex issues like proving that a spouse diverted income.

 


Managing a co-parenting arrangement takes the reasonable and considerate efforts of both parents. If you find yourself stressed out and frustrated with the other parent it comes with the territory, unfortunately. If there is no court order in place, then there is not way to enforce any arrangement for your parenting time. Hiring a knowledgeable attorney to establish a custody, access or visitation, and child support can be the best for everyone involved, especially your child.



If after a court issues a child custody order the other parent does not follow it, then you have the right to take them to court for contempt. If the arrangement does not work because there are material changes, one child begins school, so the custody schedule is not practical, then you can seek a modification.

Prenuptial &

 Postnuptial Agreements


Prenuptial agreements address how your, or your future spouse's, real estate property, personal property, income, retirement accounts, business, assets, debts, and liabilities will be distributed between you if the marriage ends. You do not need a certain net worth to have one. You do not have to want to keep everything either. You just have to want an agreement with your spouse about what to do with everything that would normally be resolved in a trial, with the exception of children. Prenuptial agreements cannot include any matters having to do with your children.


Most people are more familiar with separation agreements that are prepared when a couple is divorcing. These are similar to prenuptial agreements. However, if you wait until the time of separation, or when you are going through a divorce, to make an agreement, you are much less likely to want to compromise and resolve matters fairly and reasonably. Most people have bitterness and animosity built up by that point. So, it is best to take precautions and resolve those matters early on before feelings change. It will also be less expensive because you will not have to litigate the case in court and spend tens of thousands of dollars for an attorney to represent you.


A postnuptial agreement can also be prepared if you were not able to have the agreement prepared prior to the wedding. It should, however, be prepared when you and your spouse are still on good terms.  

What Makes Us Different

Deep-Dives into Data

We get into the data. This means analyzing all of the financial, and other, information applicable to a client's case. For example, in divorces, we make sure that our clients' interests are protected. We believe they should receive what they are entitled to and anything that should not be shared, should be preserved.


Our process starts with collecting the right evidence for your case, analyzing it, and using to form our arguments. We aim for the best result possible under the circumstances. 

Problem-Solvers

Everyone at our law firm loves to help clients with their their legal problems. We will analyze your case and work toward the best way to reach achievable outcomes. We will ask you about your goals early on, and throughout, since they can change as the circumstances change.


Our team works together to execute an approach and strategy for your case based on the facts, circumstances, evidence, and any other factors that have an impact. We keep you apprised of any adjustments as new evidence, facts, or circumstances are revealed. 

Compassion

The attorneys and staff at our firm have either experienced something similar or have been through it with clients. We relate to clients’ emotions and this is a motivating factor in what drive us because we want to help. We believe by listening and hearing your story we can understand what our clients are going through, focus on the important things, and get them results. We care about each client and motivated by helping our clients get through their challenges, however big or small.

Direct

Our attorneys will tell you the facts, what to expect, what needs to happen, and what role you need to take. We will do it honestly, respectfully, and with compassion. If you want something that you have little or no chance of getting, we will let you know and we will let you know why. Some things are not possible under current law or other external forces, such as the judge’s perspective. We know that telling you what you need to know, not what you want to hear, is the best way to represent you.
