Divorce

Divorce is one of the most stressful times in a person’s life. No one gets married expecting to get divorced one day. Contentious issues such as creating a plan for parenting time, dividing the marital assets, or dealing with high-conflict personalities or substance abuse issues make it even more challenging. Take the first step and secure an experienced family law attorney to represent your interests.

Paternity Establishment

Determining paternity is the process of legally identifying the father of a child. As an unmarried biological father or same-sex partner, you should establish paternity. Married couples are presumed to be the biological parents of a child. You do not need the child's mother's permission to petition the court for paternity.
