We possess the experience and sophistication to divide the most complex marital estates. We routinely hire accountants to determine the fair market value of jointly owned assets:

Same-Sex Dissolutions
We have represented gay or lesbian partners in dividing assets and resolving child custody issues after a break-up. Our attorneys are versed in property agreements and other contracts that afford rights to same sex couples.
Spousal Support
Alimony may be awarded to one spouse if there is a significant disparity in income or earning power. Length of marriage, level of education, delaying a career to raise children and special needs of the spouse may all be considered. Mr. Pitman can advise on whether a judge is likely to grant spousal support in your divorce, and for how long. It can also be negotiated in a divorce settlement, either as monthly alimony or as a trade-off of assets in lieu of alimony.
