High-Asset Divorce and Property Division

Divorce involving substantial assets presents complex financial questions, particularly in the Silicon Forest tech corridor.

Working with financial experts, the firm ensures all marital property is properly valued and equitably divided under Oregon law, protecting your economic interests at every turn.

Protecting the well-being of your children is paramount. Under Oregon law, custody arrangements are determined based on the best interests of the child.

The firm also handles child support calculations and spousal support orders, ensuring financial determinations are balanced and aligned with statutory standards.
