We provide legal advice with no obligation to hire us. We understand you’re facing a difficult decision, and we won’t make it harder. There’s no pressure to take action, and we aim to reduce any stress or confusion you may have.

Comprehensive Case Analysis and Expert Guidance: Understand your rights and obligations in parenting time, decision-making, child support, spousal maintenance (alimony), and property division. We use Family Law Software to calculate child support and alimony payments.

Many clients ask about legal separation, who will get the house, will they have to move, if they gain by filing first, if one lawyer can handle the whole thing, who pays for future health insurance costs, how to protect their inheritance, if fault matters, and many other important questions.
