The Legal Support You Need in Divorce
Divorce is an opportunity to put a difficult past behind you and plan for a happier future.
Like any other major life transition, divorce takes careful planning. You'll be making important decisions that will determine the quality of your life for many years to come. It's easy to make mistakes in this emotionally challenging time if you don't have good legal advice.
You need a trusted advisor who can help you understand the legal and financial issues related to your divorce and help you secure the property and protection you need. Going it alone without the advice of an attorney may be less expensive in the short term, but can cost you more money - and precious time with your children - in the long run.
We're here to provide you with the legal support you need to move on with confidence and peace of mind. Let us know how we can help. To schedule an initial consultation at the Law Offices of Susan L. Jeffries & Associates, call 866-921-9692 or contact our office online.
Practical Solutions for Complex Financial Problems
Even though divorce involves complex financial decisions like dividing property, determining child support and spousal support payments, few family law attorneys have significant experience confronting tax issues and valuation challenges.
Before she began focusing on family law in 1990, Susan L. Jeffries spent 10 years working as a tax attorney for Chevron. She also has a master of laws (LL.M.) degree in taxation. She has the experience, skills and knowledge base necessary to find efficient solutions for even the most complex financial problems.
But not all problems require a legal solution. Some of your problems will likely be resolved by taking practical steps or by altering your lifestyle. For example, the parenting plan negotiated as part of your child custody agreement can be heavily influenced by your work hours and the school district you live in.
