Divorce and Legal Separation

Whether you are concerned about a prenuptial agreement, child support or a post-judgment modification, lawyer Frank will make sure you understand the full impact of your decision. She can clearly explain the divorce process and how it relates to other family law issues, including:

• Alimony
• Child Support
• Property Division
• Restraining orders
• Real estate in divorce
• Prenuptial Agreements
• Modification and Enforcement
• Parenting plans - including guidance on child custody and visitation, as well as parental relocation

Collaborative Divorce and Mediation

For many clients the most effective way to proceed through legal separation or marital dissolution is through mediation or collaborative divorce. These alternative dispute resolution techniques allow you and your spouse to decide issues yourselves, finding workable solutions that meet both of your goals and keep the best interests of your children in mind.

General Law

Our law firm also handles cases in other practice areas, including adoption, personal injury, real estate, employment law, professional malpractice and business law. We draft wills, health care proxies, living wills and powers of attorneys to assist people with planning their future. We purposely keep our case load low on these matters, however, devoting the majority of our firm's resources to divorce-related issues.
