You should carefully consider the consequences of every action you take during your divorce. As lawyers, your question to us may be, "Can I stay in my house?" The family home represents a large financial and emotional investment, is a symbol of stability in your life and your children's lives, and is essential to maintaining your current lifestyle. Before we answer you, we will need to understand the unique aspects of your situation. During your initial interview your attorney will discuss these questions:

Can you move out and still get custody of your children?

You may need to move out of your house for your job, to avoid violence, or for another reason. Our lawyers will help you plan your move in a way that does not reduce your parental rights to custody.

Can you afford the expense of maintaining the house?

As soon as you know you will be filing for divorce, our attorneys will help obtain temporary support orders to provide the spousal and child support you need to take care of your family until your divorce is final. We will provide aggressive representation during negotiations regarding mortgage payments, alimony, and child support, and if necessary will help you with post-decree enforcement.

Will the court order your spouse to move out?

If you or your child is at risk of domestic violence or abuse, our attorneys will help you get appropriate emergency restraining orders, including an order requiring your spouse to move out. However, we may advise you, depending on the circumstances, to completely remove your children from the situation.
