We work closely with men and women at all stages of a contested or uncontested divorce, handling all matters, including:

  • Child custody and parenting plans
  • Child support

  • Property settlements.

We also handle other issues affecting families such as:

  • Paternity actions. We will represent either side in a paternity determination and will handle all visitation, custody and support issues that result from the decision.
  • Modifications. We will represent custodial or non-custodial parents in requests to modify the terms of an existing custody, visitation or support order.
  • Grandparents' rights. We represent grandparents who seek custody or visitation of grandchildren.
  • Guardianships. We handle all matters related to requests to place children in the custody of individuals other than their parents, including relatives.
