You do not have to fight your divorce or custody case alone. Let us help you through this process.

Areas of Practice

Contested and Uncontested Divorce

 

If you and your spouse or partner have decided to separate, you need a strong advocate to make sure your rights are protected. We can help you get the outcome you want with regard to division of property, child custody, child support, spousal support, visitation, and the many other issues you will face during this important time.

 

If you are separating from the other parent of your child, the court will decide where the child will live and go to school, who the child will live with and when the other parent is allowed to visit the child. You need someone who will fight for you while these big decisions are being made. If you have an existing order but it is not working or circumstances have changed, we can help you modify the order to one that works better for you.

Adoptions, Terminations and Name Changes

 

Few things in life are more rewarding or more challenging than taking on the role of a parent to a non-biological child. Our team can help you legally adopt a child and protect your rights throughout the process. A stepparent adoption can be coupled with a termination of parental rights of the biological parent. Our office can also assist with adult adoptions, as well as name changes for children or adults.

 

Fathers have the right to seek a finding from the court as to whether they are the actual father of a child. If paternity is established, fathers have the exact same rights as mothers to raise their children, including asking for primary custody, visitation and access, and child support.

Domestic Violence and Protective Orders

 

If you or your child were the victim of abuse or violence, let our office help protect your family from the abuser. We can help you get a protective order, temporary orders, or other legal orders to allow you to live your life in safety and security.

 

The law allows grandparents to have court-ordered visitation for their grandchildren under certain circumstances, and even to become the primary custodian of grandchildren if the parents are not willing or able to raise the children themselves. Contact our office for a free consultation to see if you qualify.

 

Divorces involving active duty, reserve, or retired military involve unique issues that do not apply to other divorces. Our office has substantial experience in military divorces. Let us protect your rights as you go through this challenging process.

 

If your child lives primarily with you, you may be entitled to monthly child support from the other parent. If your child primarily lives with the other parent, you may be required to pay child support. There are many factors that go into calculating child support. We will fight to have the child support and alimony in your case set at an amount that is right for you. We will also represent you in enforcement proceedings if child support or alimony has not been paid as ordered.
