Family Law
Divorce and family conflicts are some of life’s toughest experiences. The Mirsky Law Firm specializes in all aspects of family law, diligently representing your interests while being sensitive to the personal, practical and financial issues that impact those involved.
Divorce
At the Mirsky Law Firm, we appreciate that a divorce is one of the most trying and painful life experiences. Our family law attorney and staff are available to see you through this demanding process, guiding you in making the many complex and challenging decisions you will have to face. We strive to approach our work in a way that doesn’t increase the animosity often fueled by divorce litigation and leaves the door open for a respectful post-divorce relationship.
After we accept a case, our goal is to bring our experience and skills to bear on fully defending the rights of our client and protecting the interests and welfare of any children involved. The Mirsky Law Firm’s representation includes all issues associated with the divorce process, including: division of property and debts, child custody and visitation, spousal support (alimony), and, where necessary, orders of protection.
Child Custody
In a divorce, a marriage is ending, but parenting relationships are not. We’re here with the professional assistance you need to navigate this tumultuous time. Our experienced family law team at the Mirsky Law Firm provide the legal know how and compassionate counsel to sort out child custody issues and push forward to arrive at the best possible outcome for you and your children. Whether working with both parents to reach a resolution, or as an advocate for you in Family Court, we’ll be there.
In establishing child custody and parenting plans, our first objective is to reach an agreement prior to court. However, if you and the other parent are unable to see eye to eye on custody or visitation, you’ll need a reliable professional and strong advocate to present your case to a judge. At the Mirsky Law Firm we know the factors that can make or break your custody case and will vigorously pursue an outcome that reflects your rights and wishes.
Child Support
Whether they are together, separated or divorced, parents share responsibility for financially supporting their children. The Mirsky Law Firm will help divorcing clients negotiate a reasonable custody support agreement that protects their financial interests as well as their children’s welfare.
When you’re facing the uncertain responsibilities of paying child support, we provide the professional advocacy to make sure you’re not required to overpay and that what you pay is fair. We will conduct an in-depth examination of both your income and your spouse’s, ensure that judicious values are determined, and work to lessen financial burdens so you can preserve your pre-divorce standard of living. Based on the specific nature of your case, we will also address issues such as contributions to health insurance, uncovered medical expenses, day care costs, and extra-curricular activities.
Trust our team to represent you through the mediation process to arrive at an equitable child support agreement as well as to help resolve post-judgement issues.
Our firm is dedicated to helping you resolve issues in the least stressful manner. We understand that this is a difficult period and we want to help you overcome it. We will walk you through the process and work together to resolve your case.
We encourage all parties in a family case to familiarize yourselves with the Administrative Order below. It addresses maintaining Status-Quo and has set some guidelines for how the parties treat one another during the family process.
