Knowledge and Thorough Preparation
We work closely with our clients and prepare them to take an active role in their cases. Our experience and advice allows clients to make informed decisions about their cases.
• No two divorce clients are alike. We respect the individual concerns of each of our clients.
• Helping a client to choose the optimal approach in managing their divorce case is an important aspect of managing a case. Various approaches include traditional negotiation, litigation, collaborative law, and mediation. For certain cases, litigation is the appropiate alternative, however, the collaborative law method for a divorce may remove a significant amount of time and expense in comparison to litigation. Mediation and negotiation may also be appropriate alternatives to litigation. A client's individual situation will suggest what option will best serve their interests.
• Even after a divorce is finalized, your obligations, including parenting duties, support, and property issues may continue. Based on your circumstances, we will help you design a parenting plan to meet the needs of your children and develop appropriate child custody and child support arrangements.
• A divorce usually leads to a new financial reality that may include payment of alimony and division of marital assets and debts. Courts typically evaluate the parties' income, expenses and other factors to determine an award of alimony and consider many legal factors before determining a division of marital property.
• When a client resumes his or her status as a single person, it is wise to review the basic documents related to estate planning, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and more.
• In dealing with family law matters, we help clients determine what issues are truly important. Clients must be made aware of the legal consequences of their decisions. At our family law firm, we provide straightforward advice and skillful representation for family law issues ranging from prenuptial agreements to post-divorce matters.
