There are few things more painful and gut-wrenching than the matters of the heart. The best of intentions between two people sometimes get skewed, or perhaps they were never meant to be together at all. As a divorced father of three, I know this from personal experience – I’ve lived it myself.
But the end of a relationship doesn’t have to be a hateful war between two temporarily-insane people (and their families) where the only winners are the divorce attorneys. With the help of an experienced family law attorney, you can avoid most pitfalls and find a path of least resistance. People come to me for efficient and affordable representation in their time of family crisis, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Why fight if there’s another way?
I handle all aspects of divorce and separation, including such divisive issues as alimony and property distribution. I can also help you craft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements which can prevent costly battles over assets in the event of a future separation.
Perhaps most importantly for separating parents, I can guide you through the difficult matters of child custody and modification – whether bitterly contested or optimistically amicable. And if your custody schedule has already been settled, I can help you establish and resolve child support issues which can have long-lasting effects for a family.
Thankfully, though, not all of family law is agonizing. I have helped families in all aspects of adoption, and would be pleased to assist you if you are choosing to adopt. I can also help with name changes of both children and adults which often reflect the realities of new, blended families.
