Having practiced family law for over a quarter of a century, I have experienced changes in the law and changes in marriages and relationships. There is no cookie cutter divorce or breakup. The unique personalities and facts of each case require attention to detail and creativity in order to reach a fair resolution, not only for the litigants but also for the children.
During a divorce or break-up, it is often difficult to distinguish whether a position is coming from the head or the heart, as emotions are understandably running high. This is why having an experienced advocate in your corner, who can serve as the voice of reason and practicality, can help avoid irreparable damage.
