Common Questions

Family Law FAQs

Get answers to frequently asked questions about family law matters.

The duration of a divorce varies based on several factors, including whether it's contested or uncontested, the complexity of assets to divide, and if children are involved. In our state, uncontested divorces can be completed in as little as 3-6 months, while contested divorces may take 9-18 months or longer. During your consultation, we can provide a more specific timeline based on your circumstances.
Child custody is determined based on the "best interests of the child" standard. Courts consider factors such as each parent's relationship with the child, ability to provide stable care, the child's established routine, and in some cases, the child's preference (depending on age). We work to help you demonstrate these factors favorably while pursuing an arrangement that benefits your children.
Our state follows equitable distribution laws, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Factors considered include the length of marriage, each spouse's financial situation, contributions to the marriage (including homemaking), and future financial needs. We help identify all marital assets and advocate for a division that protects your financial interests.
Spousal support (alimony) is based on factors including the length of marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, standard of living during marriage, age and health of each spouse, and contributions to the other's career advancement. Support may be temporary or permanent depending on circumstances. We help clients either secure appropriate support or ensure that support obligations are fair.
Family law costs vary widely based on case complexity, whether matters are contested, and the specific services needed. We offer transparent fee structures with detailed estimates during your initial consultation. We also provide various payment options and fee arrangements to make quality representation accessible.
