Many divorce cases are highly contentious. Every issue that arises can erupt into a new battleground. When parents divorce, child custody, spousal support (alimony), and division of assets must be discussed. Child custody can be particularly difficult to determine. Discussions may involve primary physical custody, visitation rights, joint custody and more. Determining who has custody of the children has an impact on child support. I do handle litigation in family court, as well as through the mediation and collaborative law process.
Child custody disputes, whether part of a divorce or a separation, can lead to problems that last for years. Parents must continue to parent during and after the process. Divorce and other family law disputes must be handled carefully to ensure that you are protected in the future. I often help clients explore alternatives in mediation and collaborative law. These methods of dispute resolution can help you find answers that work for your family.
A divorce proceeding will focus on a number of issues, including the length of the marriage, the custody evaluation, any temporary custody arrangements, child support needs, orders for protection, and countless other details. Having worked inside and outside the family law system, I know where how to avoid mistakes. I can help you move efficiently and effectively through the system to reach a positive result.
