Desafios comuns que os nossos clientes enfrentam — e como ajudamos.
Worried your spouse will hide assets during the divorce?
Forensic accounting and discovery tools can uncover hidden bank accounts, undervalued businesses, and transferred property so you receive your fair share of marital assets.
Afraid you'll lose custody of your children?
Courts prioritize the best interests of the child. A strong parenting plan backed by evidence of your involvement gives you the best chance at a favorable custody arrangement.
Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional and legal complexity of divorce?
Having a dedicated family law attorney means someone handles the legal strategy, court filings, and negotiations while you focus on your family's well-being.
Not sure if your prenup will actually hold up in court?
Improperly drafted agreements get thrown out every day. An attorney ensures full disclosure, independent counsel, and enforceable terms.
Struggling to collect the child support you're owed?
Courts have powerful enforcement tools including wage garnishment, license suspension, and contempt proceedings to compel payment.
Perguntas Frequentes
Tem perguntas? Temos respostas.
How long does a divorce take in most states?
An uncontested divorce can be finalized in 2-4 months depending on your state's waiting period. Contested divorces involving custody or complex assets can take 12-18 months or longer.
What factors do courts consider when determining child custody?
Courts evaluate the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's living situation, work schedules, history of involvement, the child's preference (if old enough), and any history of abuse or substance issues.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
While not legally required, an attorney ensures your agreement covers all necessary issues — asset division, retirement accounts, debts, and future contingencies — so you don't face costly problems later.
Can a custody order be modified after it's finalized?
Yes. Either parent can request a modification by demonstrating a material change in circumstances such as relocation, change in income, or safety concerns.
How is child support calculated?
Most states use an income-shares model factoring in both parents' incomes, number of children, healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and the custody timeshare arrangement.
