Practice Areas: Family Law

    The area of family law generally covers divorce, separation, annulment, child custody, child visitation, child support, family use and possession of a marital home, marital property rights, non marital property rights, and alimony.

    It can be quite confusing and complicated. Do you know the law? Do you know how the law applies to the facts of your case? Do you know the procedures you would have to follow, such as what papers to file and the rules of evidence, so that even after you get in front of the Judge you are able to show why you should get what you should get? Shouldn't you find out? Shouldn't you have someone to protect your rights and interests? Only an attorney can do so for you.
