Divorce

Marital Residence Awarded in a Complex-Estate Divorce

A divorce involving a complex marital estate and custody, where both spouses sought the marital home. Working with forensic-accounting experts, we established a clear valuation of the estate.

Outcome: Client awarded the marital residence in the final property division at trial.

Primary Custody With Protective Visitation Terms

The client sought primary custody and a non-standard possession schedule. We resolved the matter at mediation with safeguards built into the other parent’s time.

Outcome: Primary custody and majority visitation secured; other parent’s time subject to alcohol monitoring.

Hidden Assets Located and Recovered at Mediation

The opposing spouse attempted to conceal and fraudulently transfer marital assets. We located and valued the full estate despite those efforts and resolved the matter without a costly trial.

Outcome: Concealed assets recovered for the client; case settled at mediation, saving trial costs.

An Uncontested Divorce, Finalized Amicably

The client believed a mediator was required to finalize an agreed divorce. We explained the difference and guided them from filing through finalization, at a reasonable cost.

Outcome: Amicable, cost-effective finalization that preserved a productive co-parenting relationship.

Original Custody

From No Court Order to Equal Time With an Infant

With no prior order in place, the other parent refused overnight visits with the client’s infant. Over roughly 18 months, we built and pursued the case toward a balanced schedule.

Outcome: Immediate overnight visits secured, then a schedule giving the client 50% of the time.

A Fair Custody Order — and a Partial Retainer Refund

The other parent was unrepresented. As the sole attorney of record, we explained every option for conservatorship, possession, and support, and billed only for necessary work.

Outcome: A final order protecting the children — and a partial refund of the client’s initial retainer.

Father Awarded the Right to Designate Primary Residence

The client, the children’s father, sought primary custody; the children’s mother did not agree. The matter proceeded to trial.

Outcome: Father awarded the right to designate the children’s primary residence at trial.

Modification of Custody & Support

Groundless Modification Denied — Fees Awarded

We defended the client against a modification the opposing party brought in bad faith, asking the court to dismiss it and to shift fees.

Outcome: Modification denied at trial; opposing party ordered to pay the client’s attorney’s fees.

Teenagers Moved to a Safer Home

The other parent’s home had become unsafe, and the teenage children wanted to live with the client. We filed to modify the existing order over strong opposition.

Outcome: New order entered allowing the children to live primarily with the client.

Court-Ordered Safeguards for Children at Risk

The client presented credible evidence that the other parent’s drug and alcohol use was endangering the children. We moved to modify the order to protect them.

Outcome: Court-ordered drug testing, supervised visits, and therapy put in place for the children.
