Our Practice

Our firm represents clients in the following family law areas:

  • Divorce and property division: We handle contested and uncontested divorces, including military divorces. We will help you understand how the court characterizes, traces and divides community and separate property, and we will give you a realistic picture of what to expect.
  • Complex property division: We represent clients with significant and complex assets and investments, including businesses.
  • Child custody and visitation: We are guided by your specific needs and goals in crafting parenting plans and visitation agreements within the framework of the child's best interests. We will help you understand your options, your rights and responsibilities, and be a zealous advocate on your behalf.
  • Child and spousal support:We strive to obtain accurate and complete income and expense information to be used in calculating child and spousal support orders. Our goal is to arrive at a fair and equitable outcome.
  • Divorce mediation and alternative dispute resolution: Generally, divorce mediation is less costly, faster and a more civil alternative to litigation. An experienced lawyer and mediator, attorney John Tannenberg will serve as the neutral third party to facilitate agreement between the divorcing parties on key issues like property division, custody and support.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: We have extensive experience drafting and reviewing agreements that allow parties to establish in advance how property will be divided in the event of separation or divorce. This includes property awarded in a prior divorce, acquired in the current marriage or acquired prior to the current marriage.
  • Post-judgment modifications and enforcement: When financial or other life circumstances change after a divorce, a modification to child custody, child support or spousal support orders may be appropriate. When a former spouse wants to move with the child, or has refused to comply his or her support, custody or visitation obligations, we will assist you in obtaining enforcement or modification of the order.

At every stage, we focus on understanding and meeting our clients' goals. Our aim is to help you find favorable resolutions enabling you to move forward with your life after divorce, whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation.
