Family & Personal Law

Divorce and separation

• Our firm provides compassionate yet strategic legal guidance for clients navigating divorce, legal separation, and annulment proceedings. We handle both contested and uncontested matters, offering tailored solutions that prioritize our clients’ emotional well-being while protecting their financial and parental rights. Our expertise covers asset division, alimony/spousal support, child custody, and visitation arrangements, ensuring fair outcomes under applicable family laws.
• We assist in negotiating settlements, drafting separation agreements, and representing clients in court when disputes arise. For high-net-worth divorces, we conduct thorough financial analysisto uncover hidden assets and ensure equitable distribution. In cases involving domestic abuse or contentious custody battles, we act decisively to secure protective orders and advocate for the child’s best interests.
• Recognizing that divorce extends beyond legalities, we collaborate with financial planners and therapists to provide holistic support. Whether through mediation, collaborative law, or litigation, our goal is to resolve matters efficiently while safeguarding our clients’ futures. From filing petitions to enforcing decrees, we guide clients through every step with discretion and determination.

Child custody and guardianship

Our firm provides dedicated legal representation in child custody and guardianship matters, prioritizing the best interests of the child while protecting parental rights. We handle sole/joint custody disputes, visitation rights, relocation cases, and guardianship petitions, offering strategic counsel tailored to each family’s unique circumstances. Whether resolving conflicts through mediation or advocating fiercely in court, we ensure children’s welfare remains central to all decisions.

We assist in drafting parenting plans that establish clear terms for custody-sharing, holiday schedules, education, healthcare, and cross-border relocation. For non-parental guardianship (grandparents, relatives, or adoptive parents), we navigate complex legal procedures to secure lawful guardianship rights. In high-conflict cases involving allegations of abuse or parental alienation, we gather evidence, collaborate with child psychologists, and present compelling arguments to safeguard vulnerable minors.

Beyond litigation, we help modify existing orders when circumstances change (job loss, remarriage, etc.) and enforce violated custody terms. Our approach balances legal rigor with empathy, recognizing the emotional weight of these disputes. From temporary hearings to final decrees, we guide families toward stable, child-centric solutions with lasting clarity.

Alimony and maintenance

Our firm provides strategic legal counsel on alimony (spousal support) and maintenance matters, ensuring fair financial outcomes for both payers and recipients. We handle temporary and permanent support orders, modifications based on changed circumstances, and enforcement of existing obligations. Our approach balances legal precision with financial pragmatism, analyzing factors like income disparity, marital lifestyle, earning potential, and duration of marriage to advocate for equitable arrangements.

For paying spouses, we protect against excessive claims by presenting evidence of financial capacity and exploring tax-efficient settlement structures. For recipients, we secure appropriate support through detailed documentation of needs, including medical costs or career sacrifices made during marriage. In high-net-worth cases, we collaborate with forensic accountants to uncover hidden assets or income streams that impact support calculations.

We prioritize out-of-court negotiations through mediation but litigate aggressively when necessary—especially in cases involving self-employment income, offshore assets, or prenuptial agreements. Our services extend to enforcing delinquent payments and modifying orders due to job loss, retirement, or remarriage. By aligning legal strategy with our clients’ long-term financial health, we turn emotionally charged disputes into structured, sustainable solutions.

Key Focus Areas:

• Temporary vs. permanent maintenance determinations
• Lump-sum vs. recurring payment structures
• Tax implications and pre/post-nuptial agreement effects
