Marriage begins with hopes and dreams of lifelong partnership, yet for some, this journey may lead to the difficult decision of divorce. At such a crossroads, numerous considerations come into play, including custody arrangements, child support, and the equitable division of assets and business interests. Our firm is dedicated to guiding clients through these and other family-related legal challenges with compassion and expertise.

In the midst of divorce proceedings, financial disparities between spouses can become pronounced. We advocate for maintenance provisions to ensure that the less financially stable spouse receives necessary support for essentials like food, clothing, and shelter, as well as covering reasonable living and household expenses. Our goal is to maintain a level of stability and dignity for all involved parties during this transition.

Asset division is another critical aspect of divorce, as couples may have acquired significant properties and possessions during their marriage. We help our clients achieving an equitable distribution of these marital assets, ensuring fairness and respect for both parties’ contributions.

Our services extend beyond married couples; we assist both married and unmarried clients in securing custody or visitation rights, ensuring they maintain meaningful relationships with their children.

Additionally, we offer support in obtaining financial assistance for child care from the other parent. In cases where paternity is disputed, our team provides guidance on obtaining paternity tests, which are crucial for establishing legal rights and securing maintenance orders.

We are acutely aware of the devastating impact domestic violence can have on families. Our skilled attorneys are committed to assisting victims of domestic violence, helping them obtain necessary protection and occupation orders to ensure their safety and well-being.

Understanding the potential negative effects of parental disputes on children, we advocate for child custody mediation as a constructive alternative to contentious court battles. This approach aims to resolve custody issues amicably, prioritizing the best interests of the children involved.

In addition to the wide array of family law services already described, the our firm extends its expertise to include support for surrogacy arrangements, recognizing the unique challenges and profound joys that come with the surrogacy journey.

Surrogacy serves as a vital option for individuals and couples facing various obstacles in achieving parenthood, such as infertility, medical conditions that make pregnancy unsafe, age-related fertility issues, or unsuccessful attempts with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The firm understands that surrogacy is not only a medical but also a deeply emotional, financial, and legal journey, offering a beacon of hope for those dreaming of starting or growing a family.

Our firm is equipped to navigate the complex legal landscape of surrogacy, ensuring that all parties involved are protected and fully informed throughout the process. Whether it’s drafting surrogacy agreements, addressing the legal implications of medical procedures, or ensuring the intended parents are legally recognized, our firm stands ready to support clients in realizing their dreams of starting a family through surrogacy.
