CONTESTED DIVORCE

We recognize the stress the client is under while going through a divorce. Cara’s experience and tenacity will guide you smoothly through the divorce process, including the first Initial Con-ference, Motion hearings, all the way through to Mediation and if necessary, a Final hearing before the Judge. In a divorce with minor children, a Guardian Ad Litem may need to be appointed to advocate for the children for what
is In their best interest. There is also marital property, assets, and debts to be divided. In these cases, we do in-depth discovery to uncover bad conduct and financial information on the spouse.

MILITARY DIVORCE

Active or former active-duty members have unique issues to decide including the spouse’s lack of earning potential due to frequent relocations to addressing the distribution of military retirement. VA benefits are not marital property.

CHILD CUSTODY

The Courts will determine what is in the best interest of the children in a divorce or in an initial custody litigation. We strive and hope that the parents of the children maintain a positive influence in the children’s lives. However, we han-dle cases aggressively where a parent is not following the Court Order or not providing for what is in the best interest of the child/children. We also handle modifications of custody. At the age of 14, a child can declare which parent he or she desires to live with primarily.
