When you are faced with
separation or divorce, it is a very personal and emotional time in
your life, especially when there are minor children and financial
issues to consider. Maria Cristina Gonzalez is a dedicated family law
attorney who understands the dynamics of all the issues involved and
is committed to serving your individual needs through settlement or
aggressive litigation. Your interests and goals will be protected.
DIVORCE
We commence
and defend divorce actions. Every divorce case is different and the
level of complexity varies, depending on whether there are marital
properties and debts to be divided; spousal support to be considered;
and children issues to be decided, such as custody, visitation and
child support.
PATERNITY
A paternity
action is brought when children are born out of wedlock. We bring an
action against the father or the mother to seek parental rights of the
minor child in order to establish custody; visitation; child support;
and address the child’s medical insurance needs.
CHILD CUSTODY AND VISITATION
We counsel
and assist clients to understand and consider the best interest of the
children irrespective of their own ill-feelings towards the other
parent. The best interest of the children must be considered in
divorce or paternity cases to decide on which parent will be the
primary residential parent of the children; whether joint/rotating
custody is appropriate; whether a specific and delineated visitation
schedule is necessary to alleviate anxiety of all involved; whether
shared parental decisions can be made; or whether sole custody is the
only alternative.
PRENUPTIAL AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
We prepare
prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect your financial
interests in the event of a divorce. |
