Alimony / Spousal Support
There are many factors that the courts consider when determining amount and frequency of alimony / spousal support payments. We can discuss some of the possible factors that may affect your case.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
To protect your personal assets and/or property before or after getting married, trust our lawyers to help you create an effective prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.

Paternity
For unmarried individuals that have children, it is essential that paternity be established in order to ensure that the correct father is responsible for child support and is granted some form of custody. We strive to help clients understand the benefits of establishing paternity.
