Areas of Practice
Family Law
Protection from Abuse (PFA)
Protection from abuse orders provides immediate legal protection for victims of domestic violence, harassment, or threats by restricting contact and establishing safety measures. Our attorneys provide urgent representation to obtain or defend against PFA orders, ensuring your safety and rights are protected through every stage of the court process.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is a written contract that two people sign before marriage. It outlines how their assets, debts, and finances will be handled during the marriage and if it ends in divorce or death. It can protect premarital property, clarify financial expectations, and reduce conflict and litigation costs later. Properly drafted and executed with full disclosure and independent counsel when appropriate, a prenup provides certainty and peace of mind for both parties.
Postnuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement is a legally binding contract spouses create after marriage to set terms for property division, spousal support, and financial rights in the event of divorce or death. It can provide clarity, protect separate assets, and reduce conflict by documenting each spouse’s financial expectations and obligations.
Adoption
Adoption is a life-changing legal process that creates permanent parent-child relationships and requires careful navigation of Delaware's statutory requirements and court procedures. Our attorneys guide families through stepparent adoptions, relative adoptions, and agency placements with compassionate support and meticulous attention to ensure all legal requirements are met to finalize your family.
Child Support
Child support obligations are calculated based on Delaware's statutory guidelines, considering both parents' incomes, parenting time, and the child's needs. Our attorneys represent parents seeking to establish, modify, or enforce child support orders, ensuring accurate income calculations and fair application of the law to protect your child's financial welfare.
