We provide strong counsel on child custody arrangements and the enforcement of existing orders. By taking a personalized approach to each situation, our lawyers work diligently on building a framework that truly serves your child’s best interests and protects your parental bond.
• Alimony — Many spouses choose to contribute to their family’s well-being by handling household duties and spending their days with their children.

If alimony is an issue in your divorce we’ll explain how a court might rule and will press for a fair outcome.
