Guardianships

Legal separation agreements
We help clients protect their rights with quality separation agreements addressing alimony, property division, responsibility for debts, child support and custody matters.
Enforcement actions
When a spouse who has been ordered to pay child support does not provide it as required contempt and enforcement remedies are available. We handle child support enforcement actions.
Pre-nuptial agreements
This is a written contract between two people who are about to be married that delineates their financial relationship. We can negotiate and draft these agreements for you.
Post-nuptial agreements
Instead of a prenuptial agreement, spouses can have this agreement created after they are married. We can draft this for you.
Domestic violence injunctions
Domestic violence injunctions are civil protection orders for family members. These orders restrain the potential abuser from having contact with another party where domestic violence occurs or when one party has reasonable cause to fear they are in imminent danger from domestic violence. If you are a victim, we help you get a domestic violence injunction. If you are wrongly accused, we defend you against damaging accusations.
Modification actions
If financial or personal circumstances have changed since your divorce, you can seek a modification of your parenting plan or level of child support or maintenance, custody or visitation. We can represent you.
