Practice Areas

  • Attorney for the Child
  • If parents cannot agree on custody or parenting time, it is sometimes helpful to have an attorney represent the interests of a minor child

  • Child Support
  • Oregon has a child support calculator that determines guideline child support based on a formula that considers several factors

  • Contempt / Enforcement
  • Sometimes it is necessary to take legal action to ensure both parties follow the provisions of a court order or judgment.

  • Child Custody & Parenting Time
  • Negotiating the terms of legal custody and establishing a parenting schedule can be the most emotionally difficult part of a family restructuring

  • Legal Separation and Divorce
  • Different processes and rules may apply depending on whether you are married, in a registered domestic partnership, or in an unregistered domestic partnership.

  • Grandparent, Stepparent and Third-Party Rights
  • In Oregon, people who have a special relationship with a child may be entitled to court-ordered visitation with the child or even, under certain circumstances, custody of a child

  • Property Division
  • Most divorces have three major areas—children’s issues, support issues, and property division

  • Modification
  • After a divorce is final or you finalize a custody and parenting time arrangement, it may be necessary to change some of the terms. While property division terms cannot be modified, other terms can be modified

  • Complex Divorce Issues
  • Every divorce is unique. I am sensitive to the specific needs of every client, and I understand that some divorces come with extra complexities

  • Paternity
  • When it comes to the children, unmarried parents have the same rights and responsibilities as married parents. In order to establish or enforce your rights, you may need to establish paternity, which can be done by agreement of the parents when a child is born, or after the birth.

  • Relationship Agreements
  • Relationship agreements include prenuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and postnuptial agreements, also known as marital settlement agreements.

  • Spousal Support
  • Spousal support, also known as alimony, may be an issue when your marriage or registered domestic partnership ends if there is a significant difference in your and your partner’s incomes.

  • Restraining Orders
  • I am committed to keeping you and your family safe

  • Emergency and Temporary Orders
  • If you and the opposing party need to have a temporary order in place to address custody, parenting time, or financial obligations while a case is pending, I can schedule a hearing and ask the judge to set those temporary rules

  • Relocation with Children
  • If you or the other parent want to relocate with your children and one of you objects, it is important to get appropriate legal advice.

  • Military Divorce
  • If you or your spouse are in the military there may be unique legal issues that arise related to providing a party with appropriate notice that you have filed a divorce case, determining a party’s income for the purposes of calculating child support or spousal support, and the division of retirement benefits
