Family Law Service Areas

Prenuptial Agreements - Prenuptial agreements help couples start off with a feeling of security and with the added benefit of an open approach to their finances. We are experienced in preparing prenuptial agreements and can draft the right document for any client, regardless of their pre-marital assets.

Legal Separation - Sometimes couples need time apart but do not want to end their marriage. We are experienced at drafting legal separation agreements that leave nothing to question. When preparing an agreement, which is usually presented to the court for approval, the parties concerned need to consider financial implications, living arrangements, the best interests of any children, and other issues. Because we have experience in this area, we can predict and prevent potential problems.

Divorce - Marriage is a legal relationship between two people. Many legal questions arise when a marriage is to be legally dissolved. You may need help in finding your way to an agreeable settlement or in going to court over disputed matters. As your legal representative we have the experience and creativity to understand the difficulties that can arise and the flexibility to help you discover new ways to cope with the stress of the legal break-up of your marriage.

Parental Rights and Responsibilities - Divorce is traumatic for parents and children. When a divorcing parent is searching for the best arrangement for parental rights and responsibilities an attorney who has knowledge of New Hampshire's practice and is sensitive to the concerns of both adults and children is needed. We have many years of providing good counsel and seasoned advocacy regarding child-related issues.  

Child Support - Divorce has daunting emotional implications for the family. Financial  implications can be almost as daunting. Because the State of New Hampshire has a unique formula for determination of Child Support amounts, you need proactive representation to address special circumstances which may cause adjustments in child support as would be paid under the formula.

Post Divorce Matters - Sometimes divorce agreements or orders made and expected to settle all aspects of the relationship between the parties do not work. Alimony and issues related to parenting time of children especially must sometimes again be addressed. Call us to help you through the unexpected in after-divorce matters.
