Divorce and Separation 70%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Difficult times require special people

Salmeh and company were a tremendous resource during my divorce. I was treated with patience and understanding. The guidance provided was helpful and honest. Salmeh and team were able to corral any expectations I had about the process and outcome. I felt that my concerns were heard and addressed ...in a manner that I would recommend using KF Law again or that I would recommend KF Law to others.

An Outstanding Attorney!

I was extremely impressed with the legal services I received from KF Law and Salmeh Fodor. The attorneys at this firm truly embody the values of passion and integrity. From the very beginning, they treated me with respect, listened attentively to my concerns, and provided clear and concise guidance t...hroughout the entire process. Their dedication to their clients is evident in their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Salmeh was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, ensuring that I felt informed and supported every step of the way. The results that I achieved with the help of KF Law exceeded my expectations.

Amazing with custody battles

Salmeh and her team did amazing job helping me through my divorce. I didn’t really completely understand my rights. They explained everything as they went and made sure I wasn’t being pushed over by my ex. This team will give you their all and help you along the way. She really does look out for your... and your child’s well-being. I’d recommend her to any of my friends with or without children involved.

Salmeh Fodor

I was referred to Salmeh regarding a very difficult ex spouse who was refusing to do something that was ordered in the divorce decree. Salmeh grasped the situation immediately and got to work. She was able to wrap the situation up favorably and in a timely manner. She did not attempt to ‘troll fo...r fees’ as was my experience with another attorney a few years earlier. She is top notch in every sense of the word. She is sharp, decisive, responsive , efficient, honest, professional and will not be stepped on or pushed around. Salmeh clearly is passionate about helping her clients and she will definitely help you achieve that success.
