Family and Divorce Law are generally regarded as more personal and emotionally charged than other legal practice areas. Because feelings, emotions and attachments run high, you can feel confident that we will rely upon our expertise to assist you in harnessing such expressions and focusing your efforts towards securing a result that is best suited to your particular circumstances and requirements. In order for us to accomplish these goals and to achieve the results you seek, your participation and involvement is required at each step along the way.

Whether you are seeking a divorce, custodial arrangement, the establishment of a parenting time schedule, child support, alimony or palimony, we aim to provide you with exceptional representation premised upon an open and free exchange of information as an integral part of the attorney/client relationship. We pride ourselves on being able to listen to our clients with an open mind, evaluate all facts and circumstances and then based upon the information provided, discuss options and courses of action to pursue most suitable for your circumstances based upon established legal precedents.

When seeking a divorce, it is helpful to understand why you are seeking a divorce and be prepared to provide relevant personal data related to the marriage and the events that led to you seeking a divorce. In addition, you should make every effort to learn and discover the amounts and whereabouts of all marital assets (e.g., bank accounts, pensions, property, jewelry, stocks, life insurance policies, etc.). Also, if applicable, you should make a determination and advise whether there will be any child custodial disputes or issues involving access to the marital home or other property. Lastly, if you and your spouse have not agreed upon the equitable distribution of the marital assets we will advise you of your rights and entitlements along with assisting you to secure your equitable share of those assets.

Many divorces also result in claims for child support, temporary or interim support, spousal support and/or rehabilitative support. There is no firm form of support that suits every situation and lifestyle. It is our goal and obligation to negotiate, or, if necessary, litigate a form of support that is tailored to be most suitable for you and your circumstances.

We approach child custodial issues from the perspective of insuring that any custodial arrangement and parenting time schedule is in the best interest of the child. We believe that the needs of children in most circumstances are best met if they learn, grow and develop with the love, support and input of both parents. Similarly, we share an equally strong conviction to protect a child from a parent whose conduct is disruptive, abusive or endangers the safety, well-being and positive development and growth of a child.
