Helping You Through the Process

If you need legal assistance negotiating or modifying a child support or spousal support order, or a child custody agreement, we can help. The courts generally determine support issues by referencing an established set of legal guidelines. For example, child support is determined primarily by reference to a parent's income, not a parent's expenses. Similarly, spousal support is determined by reviewing multiple factors, including the earning capacity of each party, and their health and education. It is how much you or your spouse could earn, not how much that is actually earned. Our lawyers fully understand these guidelines and will explain how they will affect your case.

We can also help if you have questions with the complex division of assets or property in high net worth divorce. If your property division involves sizable or substantial assets — such as a business, vacation home or valuable antiques — our Hartford divorce attorneys will obtain the services of appraisers and tax advisors to determine their true value, and forensic accountants to uncover any hidden assets. We will help make sure you receive a full and fair distribution of property.

Mediation, Arbitration and Collaborative Law Services

With skilled mediation and divorce lawyers on our staff and onsite conference rooms available, we are able to help clients resolve matters using alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Many families choose to have our mediators or arbitrators help them with family disputes because it often saves time and money. We also now provide collaborative divorce options for individuals seeking a less contentious method to resolve their differences.

Post-Divorce Proceedings

As part of our comprehensive family law services, we help clients reach fair and reasonable solutions regarding modification and enforcement:

• After a divorce or separation is finalized, you have rights and obligations that may require court intervention to enforce, such as child support payments or visitation access.
• Circumstances change with time. You or your ex-spouse may wish to seek a post-divorce modification for portions of your divorce or separation agreement months or even years after it was finalized. Depending upon your individual circumstances and the terms of your divorce, these changes may be permitted.
