Division of Marital Assets
One of the principal duties of a diligent divorce lawyer is to assist clients in negotiating reasonable and equitable distribution of marital assets. Solutions vary according to individual circumstances, but in general need to take into account the factors that are considered by the courts in evaluating an equitable division of the marital estate: the divorcing parties' age, health, station in life, occupation, vocational skills, employability, estate, liabilities, needs, opportunity of future acquisition of assets, amounts and sources of income, conduct during the marriage, contribution to acquisition, preservation, or value of the parties' estate, and contributions to home and child care.

Child Custody
Among the wide range of family issues divorcing couples face is child custody, including shared parenting (joint custody and “visitation” rights), sole custody, and court-order modifications. While state laws favor the principle of awarding custody based on the best interests of the child, many factors are considered before a final decision is made. Attorney Titlebaum's experience is valuable in presenting factors to the court that enhance your position during litigation.

Child Support and Spousal Support
A number of similar factors are taken into account when addressing child and spousal support (“alimony”), including comparative incomes, employability, amount of time of previous custody of the child, obligations of the households, and others. Child support orders are based on firm guidelines and difficult to modify unless there is a substantial change in circumstances, so it is imperative to negotiate an agreement that meets the needs of both parents while complying with the law. We can also assist you with contempt of court for non-payment of child support orders or enforcement and collection.

Our family law practice also includes child adoptions, paternity testing and establishment, negotiation of prenuptial agreements, and other issues. Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation.
