Family law is an area of the law encompassing marriage,
divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, paternity, domestic violence, guardianships and adoptions. The breakup of your family unit is an emotional time for everyone and all members of the family need to work through their emotions while still facing such issues as whether and how much time the children should spend with each parent, how to divide the property including pensions and businesses, and whether alimony is appropriate. It is too easy to fight or just give up during this emotional period. Having legal representation will help you understand your rights and obtain the best result possible for your situation.
I have been assisting people with these issues since I opened my practice in 2000. The law changes frequently, with new legislation and recently decided cases, so I am constantly learning. I am proud that I am able to resolve most of my clients' matters without the necessity for litigation, since airing one's private business in the public forum of the courthouse is generally not healthy for the parties or their children.
