Retirement and Property Division in a Divorce Settlement

Property division in divorces here often requires careful planning to address high-value real estate, retirement funds, and other financial assets. Our attorneys provide guidance that helps you achieve equitable settlements while protecting your long-term financial stability.
Custody arrangements often involve school schedules, extracurricular activities, and family routines. Parents frequently need to coordinate pickup and drop-off times around local schools, after-school programs, and recreational activities.
