Susan R. Lachman

When you need a family law attorney, I am here for you. In the area of family and domestic relations law, I am experienced and compassionate about helping clients successfully address the legal issues that affect them most directly—those that involve the loss of an intimate relationship and/or the future of your children and the attendant financial consequences and repercussions.

Family matters can be legally and financially complex and are always deeply personal and often emotionally charged. To make sound decisions about issues that can have life-long ramifications, you need support and understanding, as well as expert counsel, objective and knowledgeable evaluation of your case, aggressive representation, and a firm that understands both the importance of your case as well as the importance of your life after the case.

I offer my clients astute legal advice in a compassionate, caring and professional manner that enables them to resolve difficult issues and move on with their lives. I provide experienced representation in:

Guardianship/adoption

Divorce

Same-sex divorce/Civil union dissolution

Alimony and spousal support

Unwed parenting

Paternity

Child custody, visitation and support

Parental kidnapping

Legal separation

Prenuptial agreements

Domestic violence

Child abuse and protection

Restraining orders

Temporary protective orders

Post divorce modifications (custody, child support and alimony)

Judgment enforcement

Property issues

Termination of Parental Rights

Father’s rights

Co-Habitation Agreements

Often a family legal situation does not end with an agreement or court order. As families grow and change, adjustments or modifications may need to be made to accommodate those changes. For instance, in New Hampshire, child support can be reviewed every three years. Therefore, my representation does not end at the negotiating table or in court. I stand beside you throughout the legal process anytime you may need me.
