A divorce or paternity action, whether original or a modification, may involve many issues, such as custody of minor children, child support and visitation.  A divorce action may also involve spousal support and property matters.  A divorce or paternity action may involve the need for immediate orders.  Temporary orders, sought early in the process, can provide the ground rules to ensure the protection of the parties and property until final resolution of the case.

There are many stages to a family law case.  During the pre-trial stage of the case, we engage in the discovery process.  During discovery, information necessary to present the client’s case at trial is gathered.  This information is also used to evaluate settlement during the case.

Mediation is part of every divorce or modification process.  During mediation the parties and their attorneys attempt to reach a settlement of the issues, with the assistance of a mediator trained in resolving family law disputes.  Mediation can have many advantages over trial.  It allows the parties more privacy in the resolution of legal problems.  It also gives the parties an opportunity to structure an agreement that addresses the particular needs of the family involved.  In court, the Judge, a complete stranger to you, resolves decisions on important family issues.
