Divorce is a complete termination of a legal bond between a married couple, and it can often times be a heart breaking experience. This split often results in highly charged emotional distress for the entire family; therefore, a divorce should be well thought out to avoid acting on emotion. Once all the elements of a divorce have been considered, and you feel this is the best answer for everyone involved, we will work towards a positive outcome and minimize the creation of unnecessary drama in an already stressful situation.
There are many factors to consider in a divorce including separating community property and community debt. Your problems can be multiplied if there are added problems like gambling debt involved. It is very important to remain positive by looking towards the future, and remembering that as a human being, you should never underestimate the power within yourself to get back on track in life.
When precious children are involved, there are very important considerations to be aware of including physical and legal custody issues, child support, child visitation, child support modification, child relocation, and if the child is a member of any tribe, the Indian Child Welfare Act will be a factor.
After you have carefully weighed and contemplated your options, and when you feel the time is right, then we can sit down and begin the process together.
When you need strong representation and excellent advocacy, you’ve come to the right place. It is my goal to work well with opposing counsel in order to maintain a good working relationship for your benefit by maintaining integrity, respect, and honor. There are times when it will be necessary to consider what elements to put into action; therefore, when aggressive representation is called for, it will be for the purpose of protecting your legal rights and interests.
The best interest of the children (BIC) should be your first consideration in a divorce or legal separation. The Courts will certainly be considering the children’s best interest, but you and I will have already discussed this in detail and will be well prepared to present a good outline for the other side to consider. If that does not work, we’ll leave our consideration for the courts decision.
I can provide the best advice for keeping things as normal as possible for children experiencing the impact of their parents' decision to part ways. It is the constant warring between parents which tears children apart inside. When a child is not properly prepared and feels insecure and upset, this can lead his or her grades slipping in school among other emotional distress factors. The last thing any child needs to feel is that they are taking on the problems of their parents and feeling they have to take sides. I will work with you to minimize this impact.
