Common questions

Not sure?

Family law matters can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re facing divorce, a custody dispute, or a need to modify an existing agreement, I provide clear guidance every step of the way. The law prioritizes fairness—dividing assets equitably, determining custody based on the child’s best interests, and allowing for changes when life circumstances shift. If an agreement isn’t being followed, legal enforcement options are available. Every case is unique, and I’m here to help you understand your rights and options.

  • You have the right to a fair division of assets, financial support if applicable, and a say in custody arrangements for your children.

  • The court prioritizes the child’s best interests, considering factors like parental involvement, stability, and living arrangements.

  • Income, financial need, parenting time, and the length of the marriage all play a role in determining support obligations.

  • Yes, modifications may be granted if there is a significant change in financial status, employment, or other relevant circumstances.

  • The cost of a family law case depends on the complexity of the situation. Uncontested matters, such as amicable divorces or straightforward custody agreements, tend to be faster and less expensive. More complex cases—involving disputes, court hearings, or significant financial considerations—require more legal work and can increase costs.

When litigation is necessary, the goal is always to provide strong, strategic advocacy while keeping costs manageable. An initial consultation can provide a clearer estimate based on the specifics of the case.

  • We can seek legal enforcement through the court, which may impose penalties or modify the agreement to ensure compliance.
