Family Law Attorneys in Wilmington DE
Making Sense of a Complex Legal System
The State of Delaware uses a bifurcated system in the most common issues surrounding family law. What this means is that each stage of your case is handled separately. Those people going through a divorce in Delaware may potentially face up to four different hearings for each issue you face. Some of these issues are child support, custody & visitation, division of property/assets and spousal support. Keeping this sometimes-complicated family law system moving forward is one of our most important duties as your lawyers.

Divorce
Delaware normally requires that couples be separated for six months prior to granting a divorce. Hearings on the questions of child support, child custody, property division, marital assets and spousal support are all handled separately in Delaware.
You want a skilled Delaware Divorce Lawyer who has ample experience dealing with these sometimes-complicated and convoluted divorce proceedings to guide you toward achieving your goals while preserving your rights.
Child Custody and Child Support
In most cases, Delaware law requires parents to enter into mediation on questions of child custody and support before the case goes before a judge. You are far better off having a lawyer who knows how to negotiate for you in mediation than leaving decisions about your future with your child up to the final word of a judge.
Most parents have no desire to drag their children through long and painful divorce proceedings. When it comes to cases involving child support and child custody, as your attorneys we are focused on preserving your parental rights while reaching a speedy resolution.
Property Division and Spousal Support
It is important to know how and when to petition the court on questions of property division, or else you could lose rights you might never have known you had. We understand how emotional people can be about their money, and conflicts over alimony often threaten to become the most heated.
We stay focused on what we think the judge will grant you should the case go all the way to trial, and try to direct the negotiation toward a settlement that is at least that good or better. We believe that the deal you negotiate is often better for you because it is within your own control, while saving you pain and money in the process.
Other Legal Issues Confronting Families
The traditional family no longer involves one man and one woman. Families frequently involve single parents, grandparents with guardianship rights or same sex couples. Whether your case involves pursuing third party visitation or protecting the same sex family, we will guide you through the entire process. While issues involving same sex couples are not handled in the same court or under the same laws, we believe that same sex couples are confronted with many of the same delicate family law issues.
