- How long you have been married
- Whether you have separated from your spouse
- Your age at the time of the divorce

Child Custody
The person who has custody of the child has the right to make decisions about education, religion, medical issues, and discipline, as well as where the child will live. Whether you would like to establish custody, adopt, or become a court–appointed guardian, our lawyers work with you to assure that your child's best interests are upheld in a court of law.
Child Support
Child support is an ongoing, periodic payment from the parent to a child's custodian. The failure of parents to pay child support has significant consequences. State laws require employers to withhold child support from the paychecks of parents who are delinquent for one month. If you or your spouse needs to negotiate child support payments, our firm offers premiere advisory and mediation services.
