Divorce is never easy to embark on, or to endure, for anyone no matter what stage you are at.

A difficult occurrence may have left you feeling you have no choice, but together – we’ll find creative options that you might not be considering.

While child custody and visitation issues are often a crucial part of any divorce proceeding, it is often the case that it needs to be addressed as its own separate issue for those who are not married but share children. Additionally, your individual life circumstances may have changed and require you to look into changing an existing order to make it more correct based on what in life has changed since an outdated order.

There are times unforeseen circumstances lead to another to take on the role of caregiver for a minor child or for someone who is unable to care for themselves.

When a person passes away without a Will, there are statutes, known as intestate laws, to help administer an estate for someone who has not left a Will. These laws do their best to divide a person’s assets the way the legislature assumed that person would probably want. Unfortunately, they often get it wrong.

Power of Attorney documents are often completed alongside an estate plan and a will. They are similar in that they also give the power you possess to another to administer on your behalf when you need assistance or are unable to do so. They are very different when compared to testamentary documents, like a Will.
