Decisions deserve a complete picture
Property, debts, retirement accounts, alimony, support, and parenting arrangements should be considered together. A proposal that appears simple may leave important questions unanswered. I review the documents and discuss the terms being proposed before you decide how to proceed.
Parenting requires practical detail
A workable plan addresses the child’s safety, school, routine, holidays, transportation, and important decisions. If an order already exists, explain what has changed and what you want the court to address. Custody, visitation, and support have different legal requirements.
