Areas of
PRACTICE
DIVORCE
Sometimes relationships simply don’t work out the way we hoped that they would. Our team handles all aspects of divorce including: child custody, child support, spousal support and equitable distribution.
COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE
Divorce doesn’t have to be war. Through a team approach, spouses are empowered to craft the terms of an agreement that make the most sense for them and eliminate a judge from having the final say in their divorce.
POST-JUDGMENT ISSUES AND MODIFICATIONS
The terms of your divorce judgment or parenting plan may not reflect your current circumstances. Situations sometimes change. It may be possible to modify a prior judgment or agreement to formulate a new arrangement that makes sense for your present reality.
COHABITATION AGREEMENTS
Walking down the aisle isn’t for everyone. A cohabitation agreement allows unmarried couples who live together to devise an agreement that protects their joint and individual interests. Think – prenuptial agreement without the marriage.
SIMPLE DIVORCE
For couples who want the divorce without the hassle. We can represent you or act as a neutral to help you and your spouse to reach an agreement without litigation. Divorce made simple.
PATERNITY
Whether you are a mother seeking child support from the child’s biological father, or a biological father seeking to establish your parental rights, our team is here to help.
INTERNATIONAL CHILD CUSTODY DISPUTES
What happens when your child’s other parent keeps your child in a foreign country without your permission? These situations are often governed by the Hague Convention, an international treaty that provides for the return of children abducted internationally.
PRE-NUPTIAL AND POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Whether you enter into one before or during your marriage, a nuptial agreement can determine the rights, responsibilities and obligations of both spouses.
