Customized Legal Services

Many divorce and parenting time cases share common denominators. At the same time, every person and every case is unique. For this reason, Andrea also offers individual legal services such as:

• Hourly consultations for review of divorce agreement terms between spouses who do not wish to engage in any disputes;

• Streamlined divorce when both spouses want to formalize a contract in the law office

• Division of retirement benefits;

• Protection of family assets, such as family cabins and small businesses;

• Child support and spousal support orders, modification and enforcement;

• Divorce mediation; and

• Child custody mediation

While divorce and parenting time cases form the bulk of this law practice, Andrea also provides advice, assistance and representation in other matters such as:

• Prenuptial agreements (prenups) and postnuptial agreements (postnups);

• Paternity actions when a child is born outside of a marital union;

• Stepparent adoption and other private adoptions;

• Grandparents' rights - sometimes leading to pursuit of guardianship or family adoption;

• Estate Planning, including wills, trusts, powers of Attorney, and Health Care Directives; and

• Guardianships and Conservatorships
