Family and Financial Security
We'll guide you through the challenges and legal questions presented by spousal support, child support, and custody. In protecting your standard of living and the well-being of your children, we'll take the steps necessary to obtain temporary and permanent orders regarding each of these issues, and when appropriate, seek post‑judgment modification of orders.
Creative Solutions
Divorce poses many issues that can make reaching resolution difficult. We protect our clients with strong advocacy skills, and where the client is willing, the firm will also utilize collaborative law or mediation processes. In a collaborative law case, there are four‑way meetings in which the parties and their lawyers work together to resolve your divorce and related issues. In mediation, a neutral third party facilitates agreement between you and your spouse, and parties may have their own attorneys to provide advice, draft documents, and review the agreement. Both of these processes take place outside of the courtroom and foster cooperation and communication that can persist after divorce, which is of central importance, especially when children are involved.
In every instance, you can be assured that we'll maintain our commitment to pursue a fair resolution that reflects your best interest.
Asset Protection
In a high-asset divorce, we understand that clients are faced with special concerns, and we'll focus on safeguarding your financial interests as assets are divided. Clients with substantial assets have complex marital estates; consequently, complicated ownership and valuation issues often arise. For example, these issues may stem from businesses, partnership interests, real property, pensions, stock options, and other forms of executive compensation. Additionally, tax considerations must be addressed, as well as the effect of premarital agreements when relevant. We'll carefully analyze your rights and take the appropriate actions to protect your assets as these critical determinations are made.
