• Divorce: Whether you are facing a contested or uncontested divorce, I can guide you through the entire process and help protect your interests throughout the divorce. I can effectively resolve issues regarding property division, custody, support, and other disputes between couples.

• Child custody: Deciding where your child will live and with whom can be challenging. I can find a fair and balanced solution that makes sense for your family.

• Child support: From establishing and modifying support to enforcing unpaid child support, I am dedicated to ensuring that your child receives the financial support he or she needs.

• Spousal support / maintenance / alimony: I regularly represent men and women in divorces that involve spousal support. If you are concerned about paying or receiving support, we can help.

• Child visitation: I can handle visitation cases for parents, grandparents, and other third-party individuals if the child’s parents are unable to care for the child.

• Temporary separation: When you are not quite ready for a divorce but feel it is time to slowly dissolve your marriage, temporary separation may be an option for you.

• Adoption: Grow your family with help. I can walk you through the adoption process and make sure your adoption is legal.

• Domestic violence: I can provide protection for domestic violence abuse victims as well as defend clients who are accused of domestic violence.

• Modifications to child custody, child support, and spousal support agreements: If you experienced a change in your life, are having difficulty paying child support or spousal support, or finding it difficult to adhere to your child custody schedules, I may be able to help you modify your agreements.
