FAMILY LAW

Few legal areas are as emotionally charged as family law, primarily for the litigants, but also for the lawyers and judges involved in the case, and even the public at large. In divorce and child custody cases, the adversarial process has increased tensions between the parties that do not abate even when the process is completed. We stress both litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation in our practice, and represent clients in a full range of family law matters, including:

• Adoption
• Divorce
• Paternity
• Child custody
• Child support
• Visitation and placement
• Marital property issues
• Temporary orders
• Premarital or prenuptial agreements
• Maintenance, alimony, or spousal support
• Retirement benefits
• Name changes
