Property division
One of the most complex issues to address at the time of divorce is the division of property.

We are experienced in helping our clients identify and review their assets so that they can make accurate claims in court upon the division of property.

Alimony and spousal support
Alimony or spousal support is a designated amount paid to one spouse by the other at the dissolution of a marriage to provide financial maintenance of a standard of living upheld during the marriage. Alimony can be long term or short term and is based on the earnings of the parties, the duration of the marriage, and the ability of both parties to find gainful employment. In a long term marriage, the spouse gets support until death or remarriage and in short term they get support for half the duration of the marriage. We can help you assert your rights to alimony or seek to prevent unmanageable support obligations.
