Child Custody
Child custody involves more than custody schedules and timeshares. Issues involving child custody can come about years after parents have separated and can often remain until your child reaches majority. Disputes over choice of school, healthcare and decisions to move away frequently occur. Our attorneys can assist you with these issues and will strive to reduce co-parenting conflicts in the best interest of your children.
Child/Spousal Support
Whether you are seeking a child or spousal support order or a modification, our attorneys can assist you. Determining income available for support purposes can require expert analysis and careful review of financial statements. Obtaining documentation can require the use of discovery, including subpoenas, interrogatories and depositions. Our attorneys will find the most effective and cost efficient means of obtaining this information for your case.
Property Division
Determining the interest in an asset requires an understanding of case law and the need to trace contributions to their source. Our attorneys will determine the character of the assets in question so you can have an understanding of the issues in your case and how best to proceed.
Enforcement of Orders
Obtaining an order from the court is one thing, but enforcing it can be another issue. When a party is in default of an existing order, our attorneys can develop the most effective means of attempting to enforce the order. Whether it is the request for a wage garnishment, forcing the sale of an asset, or the payment of attorney’s fees or sanctions, we can assist you with enforcing a court order that has not been complied with by the other party.
Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements
Our attorneys have experience drafting Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements. These Agreements can reduce the amount of litigation and disputes that may arise in the future by clearly defining each party’s respective rights and assets.
Mediation
Our attorneys are experienced in alternative dispute resolution and have negotiated and resolved issues serving in the capacity of a neutral mediator. We will attempt to reach a mutually beneficial agreement for both parties by finding common goals that are shared by the parties. Mediation can be a cost effective alternative to litigation.
