Divorce
Many family law cases involve divorce and the related issues of child custody and support, parenting plans and spousal support (alimony). Some people assume divorce involves attorneys battling over these issues in court with each side seeking to avenge the other. This is not always true. In fact, many divorces are positive experiences that allow the people involved to live happier lives.
Child Custody or Residence Modification
When one parent gets a job, loses a job, or wishes to move away, you may have to revisit your child custody agreement. We work closely with you to create a parenting plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Mediation
It may be possible to resolve your family law disputes through mediation. Mediation is a process that allows for open communication between disputing parties. It is less invasive than going to court, and often results in solid compromises. Mediation may also be less stressful for your children.
