Assisting You & Your Children Through Divorce
We understand that divorce can be a highly emotional and stressful experience, especially for children. We strive to help our clients move past initial emotions and focus on practical matters such as alimony and property division, child custody and support, and the other legal issues that must be addressed.
We are committed to you through divorce while protecting your financial and personal interests. We do this by addressing the following:
- Drafting and filing necessary legal documents
- Negotiating with opposing counsel to settle disputes
- Representing clients in family court and, if necessary, in circuit court
- Enforcing orders already issued by the court
For our clients who are parents, we work hard to help you address the impact of divorce on your children and minimize any potential harm.
