Divorce Agreement Secures Fair Division of Property and Liabilities

Recently, we were hired to represent a husband in a divorce case involving multiple properties and a debt owed to a family member. While the divorce appeared straightforward, the opposing party, represented by inadequate counsel, sought to retain all assets without repaying the debt. We conducted thorough discovery, including depositions and financial subpoenas, to ensure a fair division of the marital estate. The case culminated in a trial, where we successfully demonstrated the existence of missing assets and secured a favorable outcome for the husband, including the sale of the properties and a judgment that the debt was indeed owed. Following the case, the family member pursued legal action against the opposing party for the owed amount.

In a challenging divorce case involving a husband who traveled frequently for work and a stay-at-home wife with three children, our team achieved a successful resolution at mediation. Upon learning of the impending divorce, the wife attempted to undermine the husband's relationship with the children, including efforts to fabricate claims for a protective order. Compounding the situation, the wife was involved in an extramarital relationship that was not initially apparent. Recognizing the importance of fault in the alimony determination, the attorney meticulously gathered evidence, including recorded conversation transcripts and other documentation highlighting the wife's actions. This evidence was strategically incorporated into the case filings, effectively communicating the wife's fault to opposing counsel. As a result, the mediation led to a favorable outcome concerning alimony. While the husband's obligation remained, the terms were significantly improved—approximately 40% better than what might have been expected without the influence of the wife's fault.

In a complex divorce case involving a military client, our attorneys successfully navigated challenges presented by the opposing party, who attempted to delay the proceedings. Despite these efforts to postpone the process, the case ultimately proceeded to trial. During the trial, our team presented evidence demonstrating intentional delays, resulting in a favorable ruling for the client. The court awarded all the client's requests, including financial compensation for expenses incurred during the proceedings, which the opposing party was ordered to repay. Following the court's decision, the opposing party did not comply with the financial order. This week, we took necessary actions to ensure compliance, ultimately securing the funds owed to the client.

In a post-divorce case, our team represented a father against allegations from his ex-wife. The ex-wife was attempting to homeschool their children without his consent, citing concerns about their academic performance. The mother claimed that she could provide passing grades without any formal education. Within 24 hours, we had secured an emergency order to reinstate the children in school. Several months later, the mother sought emergency custody and a protective order in a different jurisdiction based on unfounded allegations against the father. Our team swiftly intervened, demonstrating the mother's claims' lack of merit. This led to the dismissal of both the protective order and the emergency custody request, allowing the children to return to their father for the holiday. This ongoing case is expected to conclude with a child support hearing, where one of our attorneys will present evidence of the mother’s inconsistent statements over the past two years.  

We represented maternal grandparents seeking custody of their grandchild, who was living in unsanitary conditions with the biological father. Despite the father's objections, the case proceeded to trial, which included several witnesses. We successfully highlighted contradictions in the father's testimony during cross-examination, leading to a favorable ruling for the grandparents.

In a post-divorce action, one of our attorneys represented a father with two biological children and two stepchildren. Following the mother’s relocation to another county, she attempted to compel the father to enroll the children in the school where she resided. This would have significantly complicated the father's parenting time. Our attorney effectively challenged the mother's motives during testimony, emphasizing that her desire to have the children with her was based on personal happiness rather than the children's best interests. Ultimately, the court ordered the children to attend school in the father’s district.
