Unfortunately, a large percentage of all marriages end in divorce. A divorce is typically a highly emotional and traumatic experience for the spouses and their children. Further, spouses going through a divorce often are not aware of their legal rights and obligations. We are here to counsel our clients during their divorce and to assist them in navigating the complex dissolution of marriage process. We strive to provide our clients with cost-effective and fair resolutions during their divorce, and seek the best outcome.
During a dissolution of marriage case, the parties must equitably distribute their assets and liabilities. There typically must also be a determination of whether one spouse should pay alimony to the other spouse. Our attorneys have experience working with top financial experts in valuing a wide variety of assets, including real property and business interests, and have experience arguing for, and defending against, claims for alimony.
Similarly, children’s issues are decided during the dissolution of marriage case, which can often become a point of contention between the divorcing spouses. At the firm, we counsel our clients with regard to child support and time-sharing (commonly referred to as “custody” or “visitation”), always keeping in mind the best interests of the parties’ minor children.
Finally, taking into account the complex issues described above with regard to a dissolution of marriage proceeding, our attorneys will discuss various alternative dispute resolution methods available to you, such as mediation or the use of the collaborative law process, so that you know all of your options and can decide the best and most cost-effective manner in which to pursue your case.
