Divorce, Matrimonial and Family Law

Divorce actions and child custody disputes are traumatic experiences for both parents and children and everyone involved. Few events in life can have such drastic and lasting consequences. The natural result of the decision to divorce is a growing list of personal goals related to the divorce process. Divorce-related goals can involve marital property, child custody rights and spousal and child support, as well as time-frame and cost goals.

At R. Kennedy Law, much of our legal practice is devoted to representing parties:

• Seeking uncontested or contested divorces
• Have child custody disputes or need child support, alimony and spousal support determined
• Needing parenting plans and visitation calendars
• Needing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
• Desiring help with other matters involving family and matrimonial law.

Attorney Randy Kennedy has helped thousands of individuals and families navigate divorce proceedings and the opportunities and expectations of the family courts. We have a thorough understanding of the law — as well as of human nature. We will handle every aspect of your case, from court filings to court appearances and if necessary, post-divorce modification orders. We work closely with clients to determine their goals; we carefully explain possible roadblocks while also helping explain where it might be possible to exceed goals. For instance, by clearly examining tax statements, we may be able to increase clients' spousal support awards. And by gathering information regarding a spouse's past parenting, we can work to enhance your child custody results.

If you are currently involved or expect to be involved in a divorce proceeding or child custody matter, you need a knowledgeable, experienced litigator on your side. Experience makes the difference in family law legal matters. To resolve family law disputes and create agreements, you will need:

• An attorney experienced in conducting property division, visitation, support and custody negotiations
• An attorney able to fully protect your property, including complex business, inheritance and retirement account property
• An attorney knowledgeable of child support, spousal support and child custody legal guidelines
• An attorney that encourages parents to do what is best for the children AND encourages you to focus on the importance of parenting time for both parents
• An attorney to advise you and advocate for you, someone to make sure your rights are protected and your side of the story is effectively presented

As a parent experiencing a divorce, the care of your child or children is one of the most important decisions to make.
