Divorce and Separation — Ending a marriage is a stressful experience for everyone involved. Stacy helps clients navigate every step of the divorce, including division of assets, preparation and negotiation of property settlement agreements and spousal support, child support, child custody, custody modifications, grandparent visitation, child visitation, and relocation.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements — While no one wants to plan for the worst, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can protect your assets from dissolution during divorce. Stacy provides experienced legal advice whether you want to draft a marital agreement or are challenging one.

Mediation and Collaborative Divorce — Divorce doesn’t have to involve a contentious legal battle. Stacy offers divorce mediation and collaborative divorce services that allow you and your spouse to come up with reasonable solutions that meet your unique needs.

Name Changes — People have many reasons for seeking to legally change their name from giving an adopted or step-child a family last name to avoiding confusion as adults with similarly named siblings or parents. Name changes can also be desired for religious purposes or other reasons.

Post-Judgment Motions — Many PSA agreements, final judgments, or court orders may need to be modified to accommodate the family’s changing needs. Child support or alimony payments may be reduced by filing a post-judgment motion. These motions are also referred to as Lepis motions. Moreover, some other types of post-judgment motions may include an adjustment to a parenting time schedule, a request to emancipate a child or to compel the payment of college expenses.
