Divorce Is Your time to Choose a New Life,
Make Sure You Choose the Right Lawyer.
An attorney should understand the sensitive nature of a divorce, the long-term financial impact, and the emotions involved with ending a marriage. No one anticipates a divorce and all of the complexities it entails. In order to reach a fair settlement regarding alimony, child custody, and the equitable distribution of property, you need an experienced divorce lawyer. Call Berlin Law Offices, LLC, at 866-587-6215 or 860-398-4871 to learn more about the divorce process. We represent families living in and around the Connecticut towns of Kensington, New Britain, Middletown, Cromwell, and Meriden.
Reaching a fair divorce settlement requires one or more of the following considerations:
- Equitable Distribution of Property:
We fight to get your story heard so the court will find the best result. Under Connecticut law, martial property is equitably divided by the court. The court considers such factors as the length of the marriage, the causes for the divorce, the health and financial status of the spouse, special needs of the parties, and the income and earning capacity of the parties. To ensure you are treated fairly, speak to an attorney at Berlin Law Offices,LLC.
- Alimony and Spousal Support:
Either spouse may receive alimony, but there is no entitlement to it. If awarded, the amount of alimony and length of time is determined by examining a variety of factors, including one party's need and the other party's ability to pay. Your circumstances may change. Contact Robert P. Murphy if you need to modify your alimony award. We will also seek judicial orders enforcing payment of unpaid alimony.
Protecting the best interests of the child is a priority in a divorce. When issuing child custody orders, the court considers the best interests of the child. Attorney Murphy wrote a ground breaking brief for Connecticut's Supreme Court discussing the best interests of the child. The court may grant either sole or joint custody for your children. Legal custody is the ability to make important decisions concerning your child's life. Physical custody concerns where your child will reside and visit. While there are many other issues associated with family law, we are experienced in advising clients on them all.
