Family Law Services

My practice is dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of family law services, including contested divorces, uncontested divorces, child custody and visitation, alimony and spousal support, child support, domestic violence, paternity, adoption, wills and powers of attorney, and mediation. Whether you are dealing with a complex custody battle, navigating the emotional process of divorce, or seeking to establish a will or power of attorney, I am here to help you navigate these difficult legal issues and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

Contested Divorces

In a contested divorce, the parties cannot agree on one or more issues such as property division, spousal support, or child custody. In these situations, it is essential to have an experienced attorney who can advocate for your interests and help you achieve the best possible outcome. As a seasoned family law attorney, I have the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively represent you in contested divorce proceedings.

Uncontested Divorces

An uncontested divorce, on the other hand, is a divorce where both parties agree on all issues, such as property division, spousal support, and child custody. While this process is typically less complicated than a contested divorce, it is still important to have an attorney to ensure that your rights are protected and that all necessary legal documents are properly prepared and filed. I offer flat fees for uncontested divorces, providing you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly how much your legal services will cost.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation disputes can be some of the most emotionally challenging and legally complex issues in family law. As a dedicated family law attorney, I understand the importance of protecting the best interests of your children and ensuring that you have the legal rights and access to your children that you deserve. Whether you are seeking primary custody, joint custody, or visitation rights, I am here to help you navigate these complex legal issues and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

Alimony and Spousal Support

Alimony and spousal support are payments made by one spouse to another spouse as part of a divorce or separation agreement. These payments are typically made to ensure that both parties have the financial resources they need to maintain a reasonable standard of living following the end of their marriage. As a seasoned family law attorney, I can help you determine whether you are entitled to receive alimony or spousal support, and if so, how much you should receive.

Child Support

Child support is a legal obligation of a non-custodial parent to provide financial support for their children. The amount of child support that is owed is typically determined by state law and is based on the income of both parents, as well as the needs of the children. As a dedicated family law attorney, I can help you determine how much child support you owe or are entitled to receive, and ensure that your rights and interests are protected in any child support proceedings.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects far too many families. If you are a victim of domestic violence, it is essential to have an attorney who can help you obtain the legal protection you need to keep yourself and your children safe. I am committed to providing compassionate and effective legal representation to victims of domestic violence, and I am here to help you navigate the legal process and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

Paternity

Paternity is the legal process of establishing the biological father of a child. This process is often necessary in cases where the parents were not married at the time of the child's birth, or where the biological father is not listed on the child's birth certificate. As a dedicated family law attorney, I can help you establish paternity and ensure that your legal rights and interests are protected in any related legal proceedings.

Adoption

Adoption is the legal process of creating a parent-child relationship between two individuals who are not biologically related. This process can be complex and emotionally challenging, and it is essential to have an attorney who can guide you through the legal process and ensure that your rights and interests are protected. Whether you are adopting a child as a single parent, as part of a same-sex couple, or as part of a blended family, I am here to help you navigate the adoption process and ensure that your dream of becoming a parent becomes a reality.

Wills and Powers of Attorney

Wills and powers of attorney are legal documents that allow you to specify your wishes for the distribution of your property and the care of your children in the event of your death or incapacitation. These documents are essential for ensuring that your wishes are respected and that your loved ones are protected in the event that you are no longer able to care for them. As a dedicated family law attorney, I can help you draft and execute these important legal documents and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

Mediation

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that allows parties to resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom. In mediation, the parties work with a neutral third-party mediator who helps them negotiate a settlement that meets the needs and interests of all parties involved. Mediation can be an effective way to resolve family law disputes without the need for expensive and time-consuming litigation. As a seasoned family law attorney, I can help you navigate the mediation process and ensure that your rights and interests are protected in any settlement that is reached.
