My practice is in the area of family law. I assist clients with initiating and responding to petitions for divorce, legal separation, child custody and placement disputes, paternity adjudication, asset division, business valuations, post-judgment support modifications/buyouts, as well as adoptions, termination of parental rights cases, guardianships, and preparation of pre and post nuptial agreements. I have represented clients with large complex estates involving corporations, farms, medical/orthodontic practices, and law practices. In addition, I have been appointed by our local judges to serve as a parent coordinator in high conflict custody/placement cases.
