Kristi L. Hilliard

Kristi is a Senior Partner of the firm.  She practices exclusively in the area Divorce and Family Law.  No one plans on a marriage ending in divorce, but the reality is that divorces are sometimes unavoidable, and must be dealt with in a way that is responsive to the rights of the parties, and the rights and needs of their children who are affected by the divorce.

We strive to encourage couples to keep the rights and needs of children in mind at each stage of the divorce. We work with parents to develop a meaningful and positive parenting plan that balances quality parenting time with the respective ages and developmental needs of the children. We assist parent in preparing for and participating in mediation in those case where parenting plan agreements have not been worked out to the satisfaction of the clients. We litigate custody and visitation disputes when mediation and settlement efforts have failed.

Property division and debt allocation involve the gathering and analysis of records and historical information about the assets and liabilities that were brought into the marriage and that have accumulated during the marriage, and the development of evidence to prove the existence and location of assets that may be concealed by a party in a divorce case. We utilize many years of experience to uncover hidden assets, and to prove and isolate “non-marital” property that should not be divided between spouses in a divorce case.
