proceeding is unique. We handle straightforward
uncomplicated divorces and complex marital
dissolutions. A divorce can involve:
We can be trusted to negotiate an equitable
distribution of debt and assets.
Child Custody
The breakup of a marriage is more traumatic for the
children than for the parents. Thus, parents should
exercise great care to minimize the emotional toll
on children when a separation takes place.
When parents separate, decisions regarding the
custody and support of the child must be made. If
the parents are not able to resolve these issues,
the decision will be left to the court. When
deciding issues regarding child custody, the courts
will consider a number of factors including the
preference of the child, the mental and physical
health of the parents, the relationship between the
child, the parents and siblings.
We understand the impact that divorce and parental
separation has on children and work hard to
negotiate effective custody arrangements in the best
interest of your children. We help families
establish custody agreements that recognize and
respond to all family relationships. We handle
custody matters involving parents rights,
visitation agreements, and temporary custody and
visitation. A shared parenting agreement is often
the best solution to a custody dispute. The
alternative is an adversarial divorce litigation
over custody which all too often results in
emotional trauma for all parties and in particular,
the children.
Adoption
While adopting a child can be an immensely rewarding
experience, it is often accompanied by a host of
legal and bureaucratic complexities. Those who
approach the process with the aid of a knowledgeable
attorney find that they are relieved of much of the
delays, frustration and expense it often entails.
The essential requirement for adoptive parents is
that they accept adoption as being absolutely
irreversible. Domestic adoptions are not subject
to widespread legal challenges, but it is not
impossible for birth parents or birth relatives to
initiate proceedings to revoke an adoption.
