Issues Affecting Children

If you are an individual going through a separation or divorce, or a single parent, you may have concerns regarding custody, child support, or other issues that will impact your children. Our firm provides effective legal services to parents, while looking out for the best interests of the children involved. We also handle paternity issues, stepparent adoptions, and private placement adoptions.

Collaborative Law

Collaborative Law and Mediation are alternatives to traditional divorce litigation. Both the Collaborative Law Process and Mediation afford people the opportunity for empowerment, greater satisfaction with the end result of their divorce process, and the ability to structure workable relationships with a former spouse, or parent of a child. Collaboration and mediation allow individuals to resolve their own issues, without resort to the court. These processes can be particularly important in matters that affect children, but also work well when resolving issues of support and property.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is an issue that courts take very seriously. Our firm handles matters that include protective orders, peace orders and emergency child custody. We represent both individuals seeking such orders to protect themselves, and individuals who must defend against such allegations.
