Matrimonial & Related Family Law

What is Matrimonial & Related Family Law?

Divorce and family law matters are inherently personal and often emotionally challenging. At Beaufort Shaw & Associates, we understand the complexities and sensitivities involved in these cases. The attorneys at our firm are compassionate, experienced, and dedicated to guiding clients through matrimonial and related family law issues. They ensure that your rights and interests are not just a priority but are always protected.

Expert Guidance in Divorce Proceedings

Divorce, a complex, and emotionally challenging process can be made more manageable with the right legal support. Our team of experienced attorneys, well-versed in both contested and uncontested divorces, are here to provide expert guidance and robust representation. Our divorce attorneys handle all aspects of the process, including:

We strive to protect your interests and provide you with a secure financial future.

We advocate for the children’s best interests and work towards establishing custody and visitation arrangements that are mutually beneficial for both parents. 

Determining appropriate spousal support (alimony) based on both parties’ financial circumstances and needs.

We understand the importance of a peaceful transition and aim to achieve fair resolutions that minimize conflict. Our goal is to promote amicable settlements whenever possible, allowing clients to move forward with their lives in a positive and hopeful manner.

Compassionate Support for Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation are two of the most contentious topics in family law. At Beaufort Shaw & Associates, we prioritize the well-being of the children involved while advocating for our clients’ parental rights. We work closely with our clients to develop comprehensive custody and visitation plans that serve the children’s best interests and foster and maintain strong, positive parent-child relationships. 

Among the custody matters we handle, the following are some:

Determining who has the authority to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing, education, and healthcare.

Deciding on the child’s residence and the non-custodial parent’s visiting schedule.

In cases where parents cannot agree, we step in with our unwavering commitment to the legal process. We provide robust representation in court, ensuring that our clients’ voices are heard and their parental rights are acknowledged and upheld.

Trusted Representation in Spousal Support Matter

Another crucial component of divorce that can significantly impact both parties’ financial futures is spousal support, sometimes known as alimony. Our team at Beaufort Shaw & Associates take a personalized approach, skillfully negotiating and litigating spousal support arrangements that reflect each party’s unique needs and abilities.

We consider factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial situation, and their contributions to the marriage when determining fair support arrangements. Our clients know they can rely on us to safeguard their economic interests, whether looking for assistance or fighting an unreasonable claim.
