Family Law

While a marriage or civil union brings the hope of a lasting family, the reality is that nearly one out of two marriages in New Hampshire end in divorce.

The break up of a family brings complex legal issues into an emotionally draining situation. These legal issues involve child custody matters, child support, resolving parental rights, as well as the determination of property distribution and alimony.

During these often emotional times, complex legal decisions must be made.
