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 child custody, child support, maintenance, and property division.
  • Child custody: We help parents resolve disputes over child custody, including sole custody, and visitation.
  • Child support: We help parents establish and enforce child support orders, including calculating the amount of child support and enforcing compliance with the order.
  • Spousal maintenance: We help spouses obtain maintenance orders, including temporary maintenance and permanent maintenance.
  • Property division: We help spouses divide their assets and debts in a divorce, including marital property, separate property, and equitable distribution.
  • 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.
  • Domestic violence: We represent victims of domestic violence in obtaining restraining orders and other legal protections.
  • Parental rights: We represent parents in matters involving the termination of parental rights, including adoption and child welfare cases.
