Family Law Practice Areas

• Divorce: Almost 50% of all marriages in the US end in divorce. There are many reasons why divorce is the only option available to many married couples in Montgomery County, and that is where we come in.
• Alimony: Alimony — also referred to as spousal support or maintenance — is a legal obligation where one spouse provides financial support to the other after a legal separation or divorce. We will work to ensure our clients receive a fair and reasonable alimony based on the individual circumstances of their situation.
• Alimony Pendente Lite: This is a court-ordered temporary alimony granted while an action for separation or divorce is pending. It is designed to provide support during the divorce process so that each spouse can maintain his or her standard of living.
• Spousal Support: Spousal support is the money one spouse may have to pay to the other following a legal separation or divorce. It can be paid monthly or as a lump sum, and may be awarded to assist a spouse with financial needs or to compensate for the ongoing care of children beyond any child support obligation.
• Child Custody: Following a separation or divorce, important decisions must be made concerning your children, particularly regarding child custody (either sole or shared) and access rights. If parents cannot reach an amicable agreement, a court will assess parenting ability and the children's needs, taking into account factors such as the age of the children.
• Child Support: Children have a legal right to financial support from both parents. When parents separate or divorce, they should try to agree on the amount of child support to be paid.
• Equitable Distribution: Equitable distribution is the division of marital property and debt obligations used by courts in most states during divorce proceedings.
• Property Settlement Agreement: When a couple divorces, this includes the process of dividing assets (furniture, cars, frequent flyer miles, etc.) and debts (mortgages, credit cards, etc.). Some settlement agreements cover all aspects of marriage dissolution, while others are more limited in scope.
• Asset Distribution: During every divorce, a couple must come to an agreement on how assets will be distributed.
• Pre-Nuptial Agreements: These agreements are signed in advance of a marriage, allowing spouses to make arrangements concerning ownership of their respective assets should the marriage fail.
