We Help Clients Understand All Aspects of Their Divorce

Many people don't realize that when you file for divorce, you must also file for alimony and property division at the same time. In addition, divorcing couples may not properly consider all factors of the divorce process, such as tax implications and complex child custody arrangements.

At the Law Offices of Donald E. McGinnis, experienced attorneys will help you with every aspect of your divorce, including:

• Determining marital property, including such items as inheritance money and gifts
• Dividing property according to equitable distribution principles
• Understanding child support and the factors that go into determining an accurate amount
• Understanding the tax and financial implications of spousal support (alimony)
• Arranging a child custody and visitation schedule
• Granting orders of protection in domestic violence cases
• Modifying existing court orders concerning child custody, visitation, child support or alimony (post-judgment modifications)

Although a divorce means your marriage will soon be over, your life will go on, even though it may be hard to see through the emotional pain of the moment. We'll guide you through this difficult time every step of the way. Our goal is to get you through your divorce quickly and efficiently, with a minimum amount of stress on you and your children.
