What Family Law Services Do You Provide?
Divorce Services
Divorce can be a life-changing event, but with the proper legal support, you can navigate this process smoothly. Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
- Uncontested Divorce: If both parties agree on key issues, we help simplify the process, reducing stress and minimizing expenses.
- Contested Divorce: If disagreements arise, we provide assertive representation to protect your rights and ensure a fair outcome.
- Prenuptial & Cohabitation Agreements: We help couples, both straight and LGBTQ+, create agreements that protect their interests and can be enforced in the event of a separation or death.
Child Custody & Visitation
We know that custody matters are significant and can impact your relationship with your child. Our firm works diligently to help you reach a custody arrangement that serves the best interests of your child, while respecting both parents’ rights.
- Legal Custody: The right to make significant decisions regarding your child’s education, healthcare, and religious upbringing.
- Physical Custody: Where your child will live and the parent responsible for their day-to-day care.
- Visitation/Parenting Time: We assist in negotiating visitation schedules that work for both parents, with a primary focus on what is in the best interest of the child.
Child Support
Ensuring that children are financially supported is a priority. We help establish, modify, and enforce child support orders to ensure fair support is provided.
- Establishing Child Support: We ensure that the appropriate amount of support is established, based on the incomes of both parents.
- Modifying Child Support: If circumstances change, we assist in modifying child support agreements.
- Enforcing Child Support: We take necessary action to enforce child support orders when payments are not being made.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Spousal support is often a significant issue in divorce proceedings. We work to secure fair spousal support agreements and, if necessary, advocate for modifications to ensure they reflect current financial needs.
- Temporary Support: Payments during divorce proceedings to help maintain financial stability.
- Permanent Support: Long-term alimony awarded post-divorce, based on financial need and other factors.
- Modifications: Adjustments to existing alimony orders based on changed circumstances.
Domestic Violence & Orders of Protection
If you are facing domestic violence or harassment, we help you obtain legal protection through Orders of Protection to ensure your safety and peace of mind.
- Filing for an Order of Protection: We assist clients in obtaining orders to stop abusive behavior and prevent further harm.
- Defense Against False Allegations: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, we provide a strong defense to protect your reputation and rights.
Parental Alienation & Family Offenses
We represent parents dealing with difficult situations like parental alienation, substance abuse, and mental health concerns that impact custody and visitation rights.
- Parental Alienation: We help parents combat efforts to alienate them from their children and protect the child’s relationship with both parents.
- Family Offense & Abuse/Neglect: Representing parents facing allegations of neglect or abuse, we work to ensure that your rights are safeguarded throughout the legal process.
