Divorce

If you had a long-term marriage, one with children, or have more complex issues, it is advisable to talk with a lawyer. If there are children, careful consideration must be given to the issues of child support, custody, and placement. If there are substantial assets and/or debts, a detailed review of the parties' overall financial picture must be made.

The legal and emotional effects of all of these matters are my main concern. As your legal representative, I have the experience and creativity to understand the difficulties that arise and the flexibility to help you discover new ways to cope during this stressful time.

Marital Property Division

Couples with high value assets have a more difficult time dividing their property than those with a small amount. If the couple did not complete a pre-nuptial agreement, the division is even more difficult. My many years of experience in the field allow me to accurately assess the situation and work to ensure my clients receive a fair share of assets and support.

Child Custody and Visitation

When searching for the right visitation schedule or deciding where and with which parent the children should live, each party needs an attorney who is knowledgeable of the applicable state standards, as well as sensitive to the concerns of the adults and children. I will help you efficiently reach a fair settlement of these often divisive issues, with the interests of the children and their parents as my number one priority.

High Conflict Custody Cases

Child custody cases can be fraught with conflict and high emotions. This is especially true when the parents live in two different states or countries. I handle both interstate and international custody disputes. Many of my peers refer their high custody dispute cases to me.

Child Support

It is undisputed that divorce has emotional implications on the family. Financial implications can be almost as daunting. Because each state has a unique formula for determination of child support amounts, you need my representation to help you reach a fair settlement and efficiency to reduce legal costs.
