If your spouse is seeking maintenance, we can help you understand what factors go into a judge’s decision and ensure that the court receives full documentation from both sides that the maintenance called for is fair and reasonable.

For most parents, it’s a good idea to work together on child custody. If you and your co-parent cannot agree, the judge assigned to your case will make decisions for you. While the judge will do his or her best to be fair, the fact remains that you know your family best. Regardless of whether you and your co-parent were married, we can help you do what’s best for your kids.
