Divorce
A divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage.

Because of the legal and financial implications of a divorce, it is important to approach your case with experienced legal counsel. Read more about divorce…

Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce typically involves a situation where spouses are able to reach their own agreements regarding support, custody and property. They may reach these agreements on their own, through negotiations or through mediation. They would then submit the appropriate paperwork to the court so a divorce decree would be issued and the divorce finalized. Read more about uncontested divorce…

Divorce Mediation
Mediation is a process that enables disputing parties the opportunity to reach an agreement outside of the courtroom. In this process, a neutral third party, a mediator, works to guide the parties to a mutually beneficial agreement. Read more about divorce mediation…

Child Custody
Child custody is typically one of the most disputed areas of a divorce. An agreement will need to be reached regarding the child's living arrangements and who will make decisions about health care, religion and education. If divorcing spouses cannot reach their own agreement, the court will rule upon the matter. Read more about child custody…

Child Support
Both parents of a child have an obligation to support the child. After a divorce, the non-custodial parent may be required to pay child support to the custodial parent. Child support payments may also be necessary when parents have joint custody. Read more about child support…
