EMPHASIZING OUT OF COURT SOLUTIONS
Assisting individuals wishing to finalize their marriage with minimal court involvement and minimal public disclosure of private information. This approach is typically most suitable for individuals who are prepared to discuss their situation frankly and rely upon their own judgment, aided by their attorney, to determine acceptable resolutions of the issues.
Out of court solutions are appropriate for marriages with property and assets of any size, from small to large.
Identifying Issues, Finding Solutions, and Moving On
The typical divorce will involve division of property and debts, consideration of spousal maintenance (alimony), and other matters unique to the parties and their marriage.
If there are children, then the divorce proceeding will address parenting time (visitation), financial child support, and insurance, and otherwise providing for the children.
Anyone considering a divorce needs to hire an attorney to review their situation and provide professional services to bring the matter to a conclusion.
Divorce settlements may be reached at any stage. The parties can focus their efforts on resolving the issues and formulating a plan that addresses the various legal rights and obligations presented by their circumstances

Mediation is a separate process where the parties work toward agreement on issues with the aid of a neutral third party.
PRENUPTIAL AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Assisting clients wishing to prepare contracts drafted before or after the marriage to govern division of property in the event of divorce or death. To be effective, these contracts must be drawn to meet specific legal requirements.
