Marriage and divorce are both common experiences according to the American Psychological Association. While nearly 90 percent of people marry, the divorce rate is somewhere between 40 and 50 percent – and that increases for consequent marriages. Forbes magazine published an article in 2006 estimating the average cost of a contested divorce in the United States at $15,000-$30,000.

Child custody can be one of the most contentious issues with regards to divorce. A recent Pew Research Center analysis found that nearly 1/3 of U.S. children are living with an unmarried parent. These statistics have startling legal implications. Divorce – with or without children – is often complicated and stressful for both parties. A competent and supportive attorney can make all the difference – and should be open to an interview prior to accepting a retainer to represent you.

Grandparents have rights in child custody cases too. Our attorneys are equipped to discuss these rights.
