Family Court and divorce proceedings are among the most stressful and emotionally draining experiences in which a person can become involved. I will fight for your rights and those of your family. I also believe in reasonableness and cooperation, however, and adjust my representation to suit the needs of any particular client. I assist clients in all aspects of the law relating to the needs of today's families, including, but not limited to:

Modification of Child Support
We represent clients who are seeking to make an amendment to the agreements that have resulted from a dissolution process, including:

- Changes in the primary residence due to the best interest of the child
- Modifications of child support and alimony due to changes in economic circumstances
- Changes in contact and access schedules

Prenuptial Agreements
Our goal is to protect and safeguard our client's premarital assets according to the agreement between the parties. It is of the utmost importance that every aspect of a prenuptial agreement is valid and enforceable because in general, prenuptial agreements are disfavored by law. We pay particular attention to the drafting and the execution of a prenuptial agreement to insure that it will be enforceable. We also represent individuals who are seeking to have a prenuptial agreement enforced or disqualified.

Mediation
It is our goal to facilitate an amicable agreement for the parties in a dissolution of marriage. We believe that using mediation reduces the emotional and financial costs of a divorce proceeding. While we are ready and able to take any case to trial, it is important to us to keep our clients out of the expensive litigation process.

Adoption
Adoption is an area of Family Law that is particularly satisfying. We enjoy helping families welcome new family members through the adoption process.
