Child Custody Disputes
We find that one of the biggest reasons people
seek the help of a divorce attorney is to try and
secure custody of their child. Some law firms
will be biased towards either father's or
mother's, but our firm believes good parenting is
unisex. The most important part of a divorce
involving a child custody dispute is to ensure
the safety of the child. A legal professional has
this as their sole priority, and

Serving As a Mediator
Another thing a divorce attorney can do for you
is mediate the conversation with your spouse.
Obviously you probably aren't on the best terms,
and this can severely affect negotiations. Our
attorneys serve as the emotionally objective
third party that will ensure these negotiations
proceed in a civil manner.

Requesting Visitation Rights
The visitation rights process can be quite
complex. A divorce attorney knows the law inside
and out, which helps you in guaranteeing that you
will be able to be a part of your child's life
even if you lose the custody battle. This is
essential because studies have shown that
children deal with divorce much better if both
parents are still equally in the childs life.

Child Support
Unfortunately, sometimes the non-custodial parent
feels that if they don't have custody then they
shouldn't have to pay any child support. By
hiring a divorce attorney, you make sure that the
child's best interest is the top priority. We
will make sure that a child support system is put
in place that is not biased towards one parent or
the other just biased towards the child's well
being.

Alimony
Similar to child support, hiring a divorce
attorney also makes spousal support a much
smoother process. This often needs a divorce
lawyer since most times one spouse will feel like
they should not have to give the other spouse
money to maintain standard of living.
