Family Law Lawyer

Our attorneys handle both contested and uncontested divorces, guiding you through property division, debt allocation, spousal support, and all related matters. We pursue favorable outcomes through negotiation when possible and aggressive litigation when necessary.

Divorce involves dividing marital assets and debts, which can become complex when businesses, retirement accounts, real estate, and investments are involved. We work with financial professionals to ensure accurate valuations and equitable division. In contested cases, we advocate fiercely for your interests in court.

We also handle legal separations for couples who are not ready to divorce but need formal arrangements regarding property, support, and custody. Whatever your situation, we provide clear guidance and strategic counsel to protect your rights and financial future.

We fight to protect your parental rights and your children's best interests. Our attorneys handle initial custody determinations, modification of existing orders, parenting plans, relocation disputes, and emergency custody matters with strategic precision.

Custody disputes require a deep understanding of what courts consider when determining the best interests of the child. Factors include each parent's relationship with the child, stability of the home environment, the child's wishes (depending on age), and each parent's ability to co-parent. We prepare thorough cases that highlight your strengths as a parent.

When circumstances change — such as a parent relocating, a change in work schedule, or concerns about the child's safety — we help you petition for modification of existing orders. In emergency situations involving abuse or neglect, we act swiftly to obtain emergency custody orders to protect your children.

Whether you need to establish, enforce, or modify child support, our team ensures fair calculations based on state guidelines. We handle complex income situations including self-employment, variable income, and cases involving parents in multiple states.

Child support calculations take into account both parents' income, the number of children, custody arrangements, healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and other factors. When a parent attempts to hide income or underreport earnings, we work with forensic accountants to uncover the true financial picture.

We also assist with enforcement actions when a parent fails to pay court-ordered support, including wage garnishment, contempt proceedings, and license suspension. If your financial circumstances have changed substantially, we can help you seek a modification to ensure the support amount remains fair.

We help victims of domestic violence obtain emergency and long-term protective orders while also providing defense representation for those facing false or exaggerated allegations. Safety and swift legal action are our top priorities in these sensitive matters.

For victims, we guide you through the process of obtaining a protective order, which can include provisions for no-contact, temporary custody, and exclusive use of the family home. We understand the urgency of these situations and work to get you protection as quickly as possible.

For those accused of domestic violence, we provide vigorous defense against allegations that can impact your criminal record, custody rights, employment, and reputation. We carefully examine the evidence, challenge inconsistencies, and protect your constitutional rights while pursuing the best possible outcome.

Protect your assets and clarify financial expectations with a well-drafted marital agreement. Our attorneys create enforceable prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that safeguard business interests, inheritance, and individual property.

A prenuptial agreement is not about planning for divorce — it is about having honest financial conversations and creating clarity before marriage. These agreements can protect pre-marital assets, define how property will be divided, address spousal support, and protect family businesses or inheritance.

Postnuptial agreements serve a similar purpose but are created after marriage, often when circumstances change such as starting a business, receiving an inheritance, or addressing financial concerns. We draft these agreements to be fair, transparent, and enforceable under state law.

We guide families through the adoption process, including private adoptions, stepparent adoptions, and international adoptions. We also represent parents and guardians in Child in Need of Aid (CINA) proceedings, advocating for family reunification and children's welfare.

Adoption is a joyful but legally complex process. We handle all required paperwork, background checks, court appearances, and finalization proceedings. For stepparent adoptions, we navigate the consent and termination of parental rights issues. For international adoptions, we coordinate with immigration requirements and foreign legal systems.

CINA cases arise when the state becomes involved in a family due to allegations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We represent parents fighting to keep their families together, working toward reunification plans and ensuring that parents' rights are protected throughout the process.
