Divorce

Divorce is the one thing not usually contemplated when planning a wedding, but inevitably, more than half of those who marry end up in a divorce. No matter how common divorce may be, the consequences of divorce can impact lives for years to come. While filing for divorce may sound simple, the long-term effects and legal consequences should be discussed, and our team is committed to providing you the support coupled with compassion to guide you through the difficult process while giving you solid legal advice each step of the way.

Property Division

Dividing assets and debts during a divorce can be a daunting task, especially when one spouse may not have access to financial knowledge of the marriage.  Many issues should be considered when determining the distribution of property and debts, not just when they are divided now but for future consequences to one or both parties—such as tax consequences, financial planning, cash value versus retirement, or investment amounts, among many others.  While the division of property is often understood to be equal, that is not the legal determination—and equitable does not have the same results as equality in all situations. Knowing your rights is only part of the solution; trusting our attorney to protect your rights is the rest of the solution.
