Family

Overview

Family law is a broad area of law that encompasses a wide range of legal issues affecting families, including:

• Divorce: We represent clients in all aspects of divorce, including custody, child support, maintenance, and property division.
• Child custody: We help parents resolve disputes over custody, day to day care and control, access to the child and child abduction.
• Child support: We help parents obtain and enforce child support orders.
• Spousal maintenance: We help spouses obtain maintenance orders whether temporary or permanent.
• Property division: We help spouses divide their assets and liabilities in a divorce, including the matrimonial home.
• Prenuptial agreements: We draft and negotiate prenuptial agreements, which are contracts that set forth the rights and obligations of the parties in the event of a divorce or death.
• Postnuptial agreements: We draft and negotiate postnuptial agreements, which are contracts that modify the terms of a prenuptial agreement or that are entered into after a couple is married.
• Parental rights: We represent parents in matters involving the termination of parental rights, including adoption and child welfare cases.
• Adoption and guardianship:  We represent clients in the adoption of children and in securing guardianship orders under the Minors Act.
