Areas of Practice
Divorce
Deciding to divorce is a difficult decision. Every family has unique needs and, as a result, no divorce case is exactly like another.
maintenance
In certain cases, you or your spouse may be eligible for spousal maintenance, which is formerly known as alimony. We will help you understand how courts decide the amount and duration of spousal maintenance payments.
Collaborative divorce
Collaborative Divorce is a process in which all negotiations are done out of court and all proceedings regarding your divorce are done in private. Collaborative Divorce focuses on creating customized solutions for your family, with the goal of ending your marriage in a dignified manner where relationships are preserved.
parentage & Paternity
If you are an unmarried parent trying to establish parental rights, parenting time or establishment of child support and contribution to other expenses, we can help you understand your rights and obligations.
parental rights & responsibilities
Allocation of parental rights and responsibilities, which is formerly known as child custody, is one the most emotionally charged decisions to make in a divorce or parentage case. From where the children will go to school to providing for their medical care, plenty of decisions will involve both parents’ input.
Parenting time
Parenting time, formerly known as visitation, takes into consideration the ages and needs of your children, both parents’ work schedules and availability and ability to keep to certain schedules so that the children’s lives are the least disrupted. We’ll help you craft a schedule that works for your specific family.
