DivorceThere are many things to consider when getting a divorce. The most important step is getting an attorney. You will face many difficult decisions such as: dividing assets, money, taxes, dividing debts, division of property, and if there are children there are even more decisions. Don't try to handle it yourself because you think it will be easier. People who have tried to handle it that way in the past will ALL tell you they wish they would have hired an attorney!

Child CustodyChild Custody issues are by far the most emotionally charged cases. People are very passionate about their children, but sometimes that passion and love for their children can get clouded by emotions and anger toward their ex. You need an attorney who understands not only the law concerning your case, but also the emotions you are feeling, to better serve your needs and manage your expectations to provide the best outcome for your family.

Child SupportChild support is one of the most common issues that arise from divorce and child custody issues. It is common for a parent to get behind in child support, or just decide not to pay. When this happens you need an attorney who can prove to the judge that the person is in fact capable of paying by finding evidence of their cost of living, the value of their assets, and determining their wages. There are some times that the child support cannot be paid due to a loss of a job, or an injury, and we understand those too. We work to make sure that child support is fair.
