Divorce, Paternity, & Post-Decree Matters

Divorce, paternity, and post-decree cases cover the breadth of family law. These cases can quickly become complex and emotionally charged, especially when child custody and safety concerns arise, making experienced family law guidance critical to protecting you and your children.

We guide you through the family law system with empathy, strength, and care to ensure you and your children’s needs are met. We also focus on protecting you as an individual, securing your community interests, and ensuring the safety of your children.

Divorce cases can be contested - when the parties disagree on some or all the issues - or uncontested - when the parties amicably resolve the issues - and often include:

  • Legal decision-making

  • Parenting time

  • Child support

  • Spousal maintenance

  • Division of community assets

  • Division of community debts

Dividing Complex Assets with Skill

Complex asset cases are cases that involve more than the normal house, cars, credit card debt and personal property. These cases normally involve issues where the couple have: 

  • Started or operated a business

  • Issues or concerns that a party has wasted marital assets (like an affair)

  • Several rental properties

  • Unfair gains of one party from bonuses, restricted stocks, stock options, or even some pensions. 

  • Offshore accounting

  • Complex trusts

  • Multiple residences and/or rental properties

 

These cases are complex because not only do you have larger valued assets, but you also have more risks of:

  • Potential liability

  • Loss of future revenue

  • Loss of future value 

  • Tax liabilities

Child Safety and Wellness Concerns

Child safety involves cases in which the parent is concerned with parenting skills or other issues that affect the well-being of the child and his/her development.

  • Legal Decision Making

  • Parental Fitness Evaluations
    (for mental health & wellness)

  • Substance Abuse Issues
    (diagnosis, treatment, supervision)

  • Orders of Protection

  • Domestic Violence

  • Criminal Reports, Charges, Pleas, and Convictions

  • Child Endangerment
    (including issues that intersect with DSCF reports and involvement)
