Family Law
Collaborative Law for Families
Family law is an alternative dispute resolution to resolve legal issues outside of court. When families are faced with family life transitions, the advice and assistance of a divorce lawyer who specializes in collaborative law is crucial to ensure both parties understand the law in order to make lasting, informed decisions.
Family law issues include divorce, division of marital property, custody and relocation issues, child support, spousal support and alimony, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, wills, and estate matters.
Collaborative Divorce Considerations
- Divorce, equitable distribution of marital property, support and alimony issues.
- Premarital agreements before marriage and post-marital agreements when parties decide to separate without getting divorced.
- Modifications to child support, child custody, and relocation related to custody.
- Child custody issues including legal and physical custody and parenting plans.
Estate and Business Succession Planning
- Health directives such as living wills which state personal preferences so your wishes are carried out.
- Power of Attorney discussions about who will take care of your financial affairs if you are no longer able to manage them yourself.
- Wills and Estate Contests which manage the disposition of wealth after death.
