Prenuptial Agreements help provide those considering getting married a better understanding and greater security and comfort to ensure that both parties are on the same page. The most common items covered in a prenuptial agreement include the identification and division of separate and marital assets and debts, spousal support concerns, keeping property in the family, and child custody, parenting time, and child support issues.

We truly go to bat for clients who are in contentious, messy, difficult divorces and pull out all of the stops. Such parties deserve justice, and we excel in immediately taking the steps necessary to bring about positive change as soon as possible.

Occasionally, even after parties divorce, one of those parties does not do something that they were supposed to do. We file Motions and Orders to Show Cause to ensure that those parties are ordered to follow previous agreements and/or orders.

As couples are considering separating and divorcing, Separation and Divorce Agreements help clarify issues including parenting schedules, specifics about support, life insurance, the division of retirement accounts, plans for the sale of the home, and a variety of other factors that are important to the couple.

For those couples who know they want a divorce, and also know they want to keep their divorce out of court, but have a few bumps they cannot get over together, we provide mediation services to help such parties get to the finish line amicably and with minimal aggravation.

Through mediation, a married couple negotiates an agreement regarding division of property, maintenance, child custody, and child support. Through 4-6 two-hour long sessions, on average, the mediator and the couple work out every step of the process, and the Memorandum of Understanding memorializes the full agreement between the pair.

Each parent deserves the right to visit with their child or children, absent serious reasons why that parent should not have such rights, including but not limited to abuse or neglect. We are committed to having visits begin or resume as quickly as possible for those who have not seen their child or children for some time.

We assist individuals in obtaining or changing custody of one or more children by doing a deep-dive analysis into the factors that comprise the best interest of the child. This analysis is done on a micro level, and we do our best to leave no stone left unturned such that we can present the most compelling argument to the Court.

We help clients establish, enforce, modify, and terminate child support. A parent who has residential custody of one or more children, meaning that the child or children live with that parent, is entitled to child support from the non-custodial parent, meaning the parent who does not live with the child or children. If the parent who has been ordered to pay child support no longer earns as much money as they did when the order was entered, or the parent paying child support makes significantly more money when the child support order was entered, we can assist with either a downward or upward modification of child support. If a parent who has been ordered to pay is not helping, we would love to assist to ensure that payments resume. When one or more children become emancipated, or too old for child support to continue, we assist in having child support terminated.

Fathers deserve to be an active part of their children’s lives. We assist fathers establish paternity and go on to establish or re-establish a warm, loving bond with their child or children.

Occasionally a parent or family may be the subject of an ACS, DCP&P, or other child services investigation. We provide assistance and guidance to individuals and families who are in the midst of such an investigation to ensure that the parent(s) rights are protected.

Sometimes, a parent may become a party to a neglect proceeding, through which a parent may lose his or her rights to one or more children. We fight for such parents and also for those parents who are involved in such matters. Our approach is to fight valiantly for our clients such that they can continue to grow a stronger and stronger relationship with their children.

We assist parents who, while not biological parents of one or more children, still play that parental role in their children’s lives, get the same rights to their children as if they were actually those children’s biological parents.

We assist individuals who have a romantic partner, previous romantic partner, or family member who has committed a family offense against them. Such family offenses can include physical harm, but also can include threats, stalking, too many phone calls or text messages, or other non-violent behavior.
