Divorce
Divorce is emotionally challenging, and is made more stressful by the financial uncertainty that often accompanies it. Men and women contemplating divorce require an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to guide them through this difficult time. The attorneys at Kitson, Haffner & Hyde, LLP, have years of experience to provide accurate and timely information and advice to enable our clients to make sound decisions that could affect them for years to come.
Three Primary Areas of consideration during a divorce:
- Equitable Distribution/Marital Property division
- Financial Support
- Spousal Maintenance (Spousal Support/Alimony)
- Child Support - Child Custody and Access
The attorneys at Kitson, Haffner & Hyde LLP have a proven track record of successfully representing our clients in all aspects in connection with the end of the marital partnership. In some instances, a divorce Agreement can be reached quickly with little animosity. In other instances, resolving all the issues in a divorce matter requires a trial before a judge. When negotiating or litigating issues related to child support, spousal maintenance and marital property division, our goal is to preserve assets and maximize income for the benefit of our clients.
