High-Asset Divorce and Equitable Property Division

Ending a marriage requires thoughtful financial planning to safeguard your personal stability. As experienced divorce and family law lawyers, we handle both contested courtroom trials and collaborative dissolution proceedings.

Child Custody Arrangements and Paternity Proceedings

Protecting your children is the paramount objective in any family case. As dedicated child custody lawyers, we assist parents in establishing sustainable custody arrangements, holiday schedules, and visitation plans. When questions of biological parentage arise, our firm guides clients through legal paternity determinations and voluntary declarations of parentage. Furthermore, our seasoned child support lawyers ensure guideline calculations accurately account for self-employment earnings, healthcare, and educational needs.

Our practice assists clients with post-judgment modifications, adjusting custody schedules and spousal support orders to mirror new economic realities.
