DIVORCE INVOLVES NUMEROUS ISSUES

CHILD CUSTODY & VISITATION

One of the most difficult issues to address in a divorce is child custody and how much time each parent will get to spend with their children. We help you reach a strong agreement that supports the best interests of your kids.

CHILD SUPPORT

If one parent has primary custody of the children, the other parent may need to provide regular child support payments. Our skilled attorneys help you reach agreements that are fair and allow your children to receive the financial support they need as they grow up.

DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY

If you've been married for any substantial period of time, you have likely collected valuable property and assets with your spouse. When you get divorced, you'll need to find ways to divide this property equitably - which might not necessarily mean equally.

DIVISION OF DEBTS

Just like property, you and your spouse may accumulate debt during your marriage. We guide you through the process of equitably dividing this debt, working toward an arrangement that's fair to you.

SELLING THE HOME

In some cases, divorcing spouses may wish to sell their home rather than allowing one of them to assume ownership of it. This can be a complex process and one that our experienced lawyers have helped manage numerous times.

SPOUSAL SUPPORT

It might be necessary for one former spouse to provide the other with regular spousal support, also known as alimony. In most cases, these arrangements are temporary and meant to give the recipient time to obtain the education or training necessary to become self sufficient.
