FAMILY LAW
Divorce impacts the whole family and major issues must be addressed to conclude the matter. Matters, including alimony, division of marital property, child support, and child custody can be too emotional for some and that may lead to contested court cases.

Deciding that divorce is necessary is seldom an easy decision. You may be concerned about how such a decision will affect your finances, your property, your retirement or your children.
