DIVORCE SETTLEMENT? HOW I HELP
When you’re facing separation and divorce, it helps to have a lawyer that understands your hopes, fears and challenges.
I draw on 40 years of experience in family law to help clients through all aspects of separation and divorce.
- Separation agreements
- Divorce
- Children
- Spousal support
- Child support
- Property
- Foreign divorce opinions
No one plans from the outset of a marriage to divorce, but many couples can benefit from having a plan in place to minimize the negative impact of divorce, should it occur. I can help you assess your need for a special contract (often referred to as a pre-nuptial agreement).
- Cohabitation agreement
- Marriage contract
