Sometimes Divorce Is the Answer

If couples (or individual spouses) are undecided as to whether they really want a divorce, we advise them that divorce is not yet the right solution for them. But when other remedies have been ruled out, and one or both parties accepts the inevitability of divorce, the need for qualified legal counsel cannot be overstated.

Children, Property, Present and Future Needs of Spouses

Child custody and child support are typically the greatest concerns when there are minor children of the marriage. McCormack & Phillips, Attorneys at Law, understand that equitable division of property and debts, full accounting of insurance and retirement needs, careful consideration of any need for spousal maintenance, and cost-effectiveness of legal representation are also important to our clients.

Collaborative Law

When an unhappy marriage is headed for break-up, each spouse has concerns that need to be addressed. The marital strife that has brought the couple to the point of divorce has been a worrisome experience and has caused considerable stress and uncertainty.

When both parties can be fair and responsible during the divorce process, collaborative law may be a desirable approach.  This not only reduces the ultimate cost but keeps the entire proceedings private and confidential.

Modification

In certain circumstances, post decree modifications may be necessary — for example, when one ex-spouse (or parent) or the other has had a major change in circumstances (income, disability, location). We advise and assist clients regarding appropriate changes to court decrees regarding child custody, maintenance / alimony, or child support.

Prenuptial Agreements as "Insurance"

Often, individuals or couples who are engaged approach our law firm to discuss prenuptial agreements. We highly recommend prenups as a form of "insurance" against unexpected changes ahead.
