Family Law
Family law is a broad area that covers divorce (dissolution of marriage), legal separation, domestic violence, and paternity. Common disputes include child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and the division of assets and debts.
Our approach to family law litigation balances firmness with flexibility—what we call the “carrot and stick” method. The stick represents the ability to enforce your rights, while the carrot symbolizes a willingness to compromise. Both are essential. Most people need to see the stick before they consider the carrot. If you only offer the stick, you’ll waste time and money fighting over issues that won’t matter in a few years. If you only offer the carrot, they’ll take it and ask for more. The solution? Offer both—the carrot and the stick. And remember: the bigger the stick, the more appealing the carrot becomes.
