Family law is one of the most dynamic and personal areas of legal practice. It touches every aspect of what matters most—our families, our children, and our financial security. I recognize that every family is unique, and I provide tailored representation that respects your circumstances while protecting your rights. Whether you are going through a divorce or legal separation, seeking to modify custody or support, or planning for the future with a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, I will work to safeguard what is most important to you.
Divorce
Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage, either through a negotiated settlement or a trial before the court. I handle all related issues, including property division, child custody, parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance. My approach is to pursue fair resolutions through negotiation whenever possible, but I am fully prepared to litigate when necessary to protect your interests.
Legal Separation
For some families, divorce may not be the immediate answer. A legal separation allows spouses to live apart while resolving important matters such as custody, support, and property division. I guide clients through separation agreements that reduce stress and expense while providing clarity for the future.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
Families evolve over time, and custody or parenting arrangements often need adjustment. I represent parents in custody modifications, parenting time disputes, and relocation cases, always focusing on the best interests of the children involved.
Child Support
Child support should meet the needs of the child while balancing the financial realities of both parents. I handle child support determinations during divorce as well as modification actions when circumstances change, such as shifts in income or increased needs of the child.
Asset Division
Dividing property and debt can be one of the most challenging aspects of divorce. I work to negotiate equitable property settlements outside of court whenever possible, but I am prepared to litigate to ensure your financial interests are protected.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Planning ahead can prevent conflict later. I assist clients in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements before marriage and postnuptial agreements after marriage, addressing issues such as property division, debt allocation, and spousal support.
