Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Family Law services
How is child custody determined?
Child custody decisions are based on the 'best interests of the child' standard. Courts consider factors including each parent's relationship with the child, ability to provide care, stability, and in some cases, the child's preferences. We help present compelling evidence of your parenting abilities and develop custody arrangements that serve your children's needs.
How is property divided in a divorce?
Property division varies by jurisdiction. In community property states, marital assets are generally divided equally, while equitable distribution states divide property 'fairly' but not necessarily equally. Our attorneys help identify, value, and classify assets, then develop strategies to secure your fair share of marital property.
Can prenuptial agreements be challenged?
Yes, prenuptial agreements can be challenged on several grounds, including fraud, duress, unconscionability, or improper execution. However, properly drafted prenups created with independent legal counsel for both parties are generally enforceable. We can help draft robust agreements or evaluate existing ones for potential vulnerabilities.
