Protecting Your Family Relationships and Financial Interests in Divorce
You can depend on our empathy and informed, practical divorce counsel, no matter how complex the contested issues may be in your case. We will explain relevant laws and help you decide on the best action at every stage, in full view of your personal and financial needs. Our work is focused on dealing effectively with issues such as:
- Grounds for divorce — helping you evaluate the impact of factors such as adultery or addiction on your overall case and choose a course of action accordingly
- Child custody and visitation — advocating for your parental rights and the level of contact and influence you need
- Child support — helping you form expectations, deal with any potential deviations from guidelines, and begin planning for life after divorce
- Property division — protecting your property rights and financial future when business interests, real estate, retirement accounts, and other complex assets are at stake
- Alimony/spousal support — building the best case for you to either pursue significant support or prevent an unjust order
- Pursuing modifications of orders for child support or child custody/visitation when your circumstances have changed, or taking appropriate action for enforcement of orders when you have an ex-spouse who does not comply
Our combination of legal and financial knowledge is also a major asset for people who want to protect their rights going into a marriage. We draft legally sound, detailed prenuptial agreements and can provide counsel on other areas of South Carolina family law.
A Range of Approaches to Resolving Your Case
