FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCE
Family law is an area of the law that focuses on matters of separation and child custody. By retaining a lawyer in your family law matter, you will have a legal advocate that will fight to protect your rights with respect to custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and division of marital property.

- Treatment of a matrimonial home
- Enforcement of support payments
- Child Support and spousal support
