There Are Many Issues To Be Resolved During Divorce

A divorce proceeding dismantles a household and redistributes resources. This process can be incredibly stressful. Dividing assets and debts in a fair and just manner can cause conflict. Child and spousal support are also critical ingredients to starting a new life. Our attorneys help clients with whatever their divorce requires, including:

  • Equitable distribution of marital property
  • Finding hidden or undisclosed assets
  • Distribution of high-value assets
  • Division of retirement assets
  • Establishing child support
  • Securing spousal maintenance or alimony
  • Protecting fathers’ rights and creating a child custody agreement

We know that when you are in the midst of a divorce, your stress and anxiety levels make it difficult to wait to hear back from your attorney. That’s why we strive to offer clients timely replies and answers when they have questions. We work with a dedicated paralegal to help make that possible.

Will Military Service Or Active Duty Be A Factor In Your Divorce Case?

Our attorneys have experience working with military clients from Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM). They are familiar with the unique issues that can arise with a military divorce, including the division of military retirement assets, having to move out of base housing, or addressing unique visitation arrangements as a result of active duty or deployment.

Representing LGBTQ+ Clients In Same-Sex Divorce And Adoption Matters

There can be unique challenges that affect same-sex families, such as defining and protecting the parental rights of the parent who did not give birth. In addition, while same-sex marriage is now legal, it has only been so for a short time. Married couples may have actually been together much longer than the date of their legal marriage. Our attorneys have experience guiding clients through these unique challenges, and we work tirelessly to protect and preserve their legal rights.
