Family Law
In addition to helping families plan for the future, my firm assists them with immediate family crises. A divorce does not have to destroy your family. We have extensive experience guiding families through the difficult issues of:
* adoption
* child support
* custody
* property division
* split custody arrangements
* spousal maintenance
* termination of parental rights
* visitation
* and other related matters
Paternity Actions
Our firm also has extensive experience assisting people with dealing with paternity actions, including establishing paternity, arranging for DNA tests to be performed, obtaining reimbursement of medical expenses related to the newborn, collecting child support, and setting up visitation.
Prenuptial & Other Agreements
We work hard to draft agreements (including prenuptial, separation and postnuptial agreements) that work with your family's particular circumstances. Although these arrangements are often reached in an amicable manner, sometimes it is important to have someone that is protecting you and your interests. Let our knowledge and experience work for you and your family.
EPO’s & DVO’s
This firm also assists clients with EPO's and DVO's. An EPO is an Emergency Protective Order. It is good for only fourteen (14) days during which time a hearing will be held on whether additional protection should be afforded to an individual. The next level of protection is obtaining a DVO (Domestic Violence Order), which may be issued by the Court after an EPO hearing at which both parties have an opportunity to appear. A DVO is valid for up to three (3) years and can be renewed by the Court.
