Brandon Divorce Lawyer: Handling Custody, Visitation & Support

In some divorce matters, the two parties are fairly amicable and can resolve the issues of child custody, visitation, and support with some help, or can come to an agreement on their own. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and when the other party in the divorce refuses to cooperate or makes unreasonable demands, it is necessary to litigate to get a resolution. My experience in court as a divorce attorney is extensive, and you will be well-represented in any hearing or at trial. I deal directly with all of my clients and never leave them to a young, inexperienced assistant. I understand exactly how important family law issues are to my clients and address them with the commitment and care that they deserve.

I can represent clients in all types of family law issues, including divorce, either contested divorce, military divorce or assisting you with an uncontested divorce. I can advise you honestly with regard to state law and matters involving property distribution and asset division, and will work with the opposing attorney to come to a fair resolution whenever possible, or if necessary, will take the case to court and present a compelling case on your behalf.

In matters regarding alimony, child custody, (timesharing) or child support, there are few more hotly contested issues when two parties separate. I will work with you to help you pursue the outcome you want, and will protect your rights throughout the process. In cases of child abuse or domestic violence, it is vital that you contact me so that I can immediately help you get the legal protection that you deserve. I have extensive experience with issues of visitation, relocation, fathers' rights and other family law or divorce-related matters.
