Frequently Asked Questions

How is property divided in a divorce?

Most states follow equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly — but not always equally. We advocate for an outcome that reflects your contributions and needs.

What factors determine child custody?

Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, considering factors like each parent's involvement, stability, and the child's own preferences (depending on age).

Can I modify a custody or support order?

Yes, if there has been a material change in circumstances. We handle modification proceedings and enforcement actions.
