Divorce - Each case is different. Among the legal issues that are often involved in divorce are child support and custody, spousal maintenance (alimony) and division of assets. We can also assist you with post divorce modifications and/or enforcement actions.

Domestic Violence - If you are dealing with issues of domestic violence, you should obtain immediate legal help in order to protect yourself. We can help you file an injunction for protection against domestic violence (commonly called a restraining order) and discuss other legal options with you.

Paternity - Whether you are seeking to establish legal paternity for your child or someone has filed a paternity suit against you, we will explain your options and the legal consequences. We help fathers enforce and protect their rights and obligations.

Family Agreements - Families and households can establish many agreements through contracts to avoid what might otherwise become a contentious situation in the future. We have experience in drafting prenuptial agreements, "living together" agreements as well as agreements between non-traditional couples.

Legal Separation - When you don't want to go so far as to get a divorce but are looking at separation, we can help guide you through the unique aspects of that process, including children's issues, division of assets and temporary support.
