DIVORCE AND CUSTODY DISPUTES

Going through a divorce can be one of the most emotionally devastating periods of a person's life. Although the experience can be extremely difficult and challenging, it is important to protect the financial and emotional well-being of you and your family as you go through this process. Attorneys Cohen and Winters are experienced trial lawyers who have helped many people deal with legal issues related to divorce, custody and child support. Cohen and Winters have the compassion and experience to help guide you through this difficult experience.

Cohen and Winters handle the following types of matters:

• Divorces: If you are going through a divorce we can help you get a fair financial settlement. This includes an equitable division of assets including a home, retirement accounts, and a small business. It also might include alimony, or spousal support. If minor children are involved, we will help negotiate a fair amount of support to be provided to the parent with primary custody.
• Child Custody: We represent people who are fighting for custody of their children or who simply want more extensive visitation. These situations often are resolved during a divorce. Sometimes, however, we represent parents long after a divorce is concluded who are seeking to modify the visitation schedule. We also can help parents who were never married but need to develop a fair parenting plan.
• Abuse & Neglect Petitions: If DCYF is charging you with abuse or neglect of your children, this is very serious and could lead to your children being taken out of the home, or even your parental rights being terminated. If you are being investigated for abuse or neglect, or a petition has been filed against you, we can represent you.
• Restraining Orders: We represent victims of domestic violence and stalking who need a restraining order to protect themselves. We also represent people who are defending a civil restraining order.
