When families consider contacting a family law attorney, they are usually facing major changes such as divorce, separation, or a dispute over children or finances.
The first step in working with a divorce attorney is often an in-depth meeting to discuss the history of the relationship, the current situation, and priorities for the future.
During this conversation, webpage the attorney will typically explain how the law treats property division, child custody, child support, and spousal maintenance, and will outline immediate steps such as gathering financial records and thinking about temporary living arrangements. Having this information early helps clients make informed decisions and reduces uncertainty as the case moves forward.
