About Attorney Awards

Divorce

When the marital union is beyond repair, men and women often turn to Foster Swift to manage their divorce for many reasons. First and foremost they know they can depend on our divorce attorneys to listen to their concerns, provide honest recommendations regarding the situation and provide representation of clients' interests as aggressively as the circumstances dictate.

There is no such thing as a "cookie cutter" divorce at Foster Swift. From simple to complex divorce cases, we have experience handling all aspects including:

  • Impact of pre and post-nuptial agreements
  • Custody – parenting time and visitation
  • Child and spousal support
  • Property issues including businesses and inherited property
  • Real Estate and Personal
  • Paternity
  • Tax issues
  • Mediation

Realizing the highly personal and sensitive nature of divorce, we do everything possible to keep details confidential. We are committed to making sure that you understand your legal rights and that the decisions you are making are in your best interests and those of your children for today and for tomorrow.

When possible, Foster Swift attorneys advocate clients to consider a collaborative divorce. In a collaborative divorce, both parties agree to settle without going to court. This enables them to work out issues directly with one another in a structured and safe environment. Both parties retain attorneys trained in collaborative divorce to help with mediation. This method often incorporates the services of financial services professionals and family counselors to help sort out the monetary and emotional repercussions of a divorce. A collaborative divorce is particularly productive when minor children are involved. Further, collaborative divorce can be significantly less expensive than custody and property battles.
