Divorce & Separation
We understand that every marriage, and therefore divorce or separation, is unique. It is important for us to take the time to get to know our clients' needs first in order to work towards the best possible outcome.
There are two types of divorce: Contested & Uncontested. Although all divorces come with their own difficulties, contested divorces are the more complicated of the two.
- Contested Divorce - A divorce in which both spouses cannot come to an agreement on one or more issues related to the divorce.
- Uncontested Divorce - A divorce in which both spouses agree on all issues related to the divorce.
Custody & Support
Whether you are pursuing sole or joint custody with another parent, child custody agreements can take many forms.
- Sole Custody - One parent holds the child's physical and legal rights while the non-custodial parent can be given different levels of visitation rights.
- Joint Custody - Each parent shares in decision-making responsibilities for the child. This can be just legally or include splitting physical time between parents as well.
Often, child support is included in the custody agreement. Many factors go into determining child support. We provide advice for your circumstances.
Division Of Assets
Division of assets can get especially complicated when dealing with high net worth parties and/or intricate estates. Assets that must be considered include but are not limited to:
- Real Estate & Other Physical Property
- Bank Accounts
- Pensions & Retirement Plans
- Life Insurance Policies
- Money Market & Other Financial Investments
- Patents & Other Intellectual Property
An experienced divorce attorney will leave no stone unturned in order to get you the divorce settlement you deserve.
Pre/Post Nuptials
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is a document outlining property rights in a marriage. There are several scenarios in which a pre or post-nup would be advantageous.
- If one spouse owns a business
- If one spouse has significantly more debt or wealth
- If one spouse plans to give up a career upon entering marriage
- To protect inheritance rights of children from a previous marriage
If you & your partner are considering a pre or post-nup, check with an experienced family law attorney & make sure your best interests are protected.
