Supportive Family Law Services
Family law issues strike us on the most personal level and are emotionally difficult. At Green Mountain Family Law, we have helped countless clients navigate the turbulent waters of family law, and we are confident we can do the same for you.
Handling All Issues Of Divorce
Divorce can always be a challenge, whether you are interested in initiating a divorce or you have been served with a complaint for divorce, we can help. A change in family structure brought on by divorce or separation shakes up the entire family unit. It can have an impact not only on those immediately involved in the dispute, but on friends and family, too. In our divorce work, we realize that you are in the midst of substantial life changes.
When you work with our firm, our attorneys’ goal is to make the court process as simple and painless as possible for you. We will begin the process by meeting with you to discuss the specifics of your situation. Our lawyers will give you a general overview of how the divorce process works and how they can help you identify your priorities and your ideal outcome.
Resolving Property Disputes In Vermont
When high assets are involved in a divorce, it can be challenging for couples to agree on the division of their marital property. We can help high-income couples find a resolution that best fits their financial and personal needs for several types of assets, including:
- Ownership of business and properties
- Personal property
- Real estate
- Stocks, bonds and other investments
- Retirement
You can find the most common questions about divorce on our FAQ page. There, we provide some insight on what you can expect and why it is important to hire an attorney who will protect your rights.
Helping You Take Care Of Your Children
The separation of parents also involves issues of child custody, known in Vermont as “parental rights and responsibilities.” From my perspective, taking care of children is the single most important area where life and law intersect. We will work with you in identifying your goals regarding legal and physical rights and responsibilities of your child. It is our attorneys’ opinion that a negotiated order is better in the long run for you and your child than one reached through litigation. In matters of custody disputes, our legal team will prepare for litigation, while working hard to help you reach an agreement with your child’s other parent.
Guiding You Through The Mediation Process
We often help our clients resolve their family law matter through mediation. This process can help you come to decisions without provoking unnecessary conflict between you and others. Changes in the family are stressful enough. Using mediation, we will help you identify mutually acceptable arrangements on all issues with your divorce.
