WE ARE DISCRETE
WE VALUE YOUR TRUST
WE KNOW THE LAW
Family law requires finding solutions for a number of issues that arise from the breakdown of a marriage or relationship.
We are able to advise and guide clients on a number of matters including:
Being separated does not mean that you are divorced. It means that your relationship has come to end and there is no reasonable chance of getting back together. You do not have to be living in different homes to be separated. Your separation date is important because many financial issues depend on it.
Divorce is the legal term that means you are no longer married. Only a Judge can grant a Divorce. Usually, you must wait one year from the day that you separate to obtain your Divorce. You can, should, and sometimes must, resolve other family law issues prior to obtaining your Divorce.
Custody, now known as Decision-Making, is about making major decisions for your children, such as which school they will attend, who their doctor will be, and which religion, if any, they will practice.
Access, now known as Parenting Time, is about spending time with your children.
Child Support is an amount of money that one separated parent pays to the other.
Monthly payments are determined based on the payor’s income, the number of children, and the amount of time the children spend with each parent.
Dividing property is different for married couples than it is for couples who did not get married.
Married couples divide almost all property, regardless of who owns it. There can be some exceptions, such as inheritances.
Some people call this Alimony, but the legal term is Spousal Support. Spousal Support may be payable when one person earns far more than the other, does not have the ability to meet his or her own financial needs, or gave up his or her career for the benefit of the family.
As experienced family lawyers, we can guide you through the process of:
Negotiating a Separation Agreement is when your lawyer discusses the issues in dispute with the other side to reach a settlement. A Separation Agreement is a binding contract that deals with all family law issues in your matter. Legal advice is essential to ensure that your Separation Agreement will protect your rights.
With Collaborative Family Law, you and your former partner meet with your lawyers to resolve the issues that matter to both of you. Other professionals can be involved, such as social workers and financial professionals. This process is designed to focus on what each of you want and why it is important to your family.
Mediation is when you and your former partner hire a neutral third party to help resolve your family law issues. Mediators can help you reach an agreement, but they cannot make any binding decisions or give you legal advice. Including your lawyer in the mediation process is essential to protecting your rights.
Arbitration is when you and your former partner hire a neutral third party to make decisions on your legal issues, similar to a Judge. Unlike mediation, you are bound by what the arbitrator decides. You cannot attend arbitration without a lawyer.
Litigation means going to Court. If you go to Court, a Judge may make many important decisions about your family. There are many different rules that must be followed if you go to Court. If you do not follow these rules, Court Orders can be made against you.
If you are in the process of planning parenthood with a sperm or egg donor, a Donor Agreement is highly recommended for you. Although a Donor Agreement may not be required, there are many benefits to having an agreement between you and the donor.
Our experienced and dedicated team is here to protect your interests in all of your family law matters.
