Family law disputes are often the most painful and expensive legal disputes, impacting all parties and children involved. It is important to have a clear understanding of your rights and obligations as well as trusted legal advocacy to ensure that your interests are protected through settlements or trial. At Lider & Fogarty, P.C., our firm has extensive experience in handling a broad range of family legal disputes and will take every necessary step to protect your rights, your financial security, and your family.

Our Family Law Attorneys will Protect Your Rights

Our attorneys handle all types of family law matters, including:

• Divorce: Divorce can affect your financial security, your property rights, and your children. We take a comprehensive approach to ensure that your family and interests are protected now and into the future. We handle simple and complex cases , including same-sex couples' rights and high-asset divorce or separation.
• Child custody: Child custody disputes involve the wellbeing of your children and may arise in the context of a divorce, paternity actions, same-sex couples' visitation or a grandparents' rights case. We will aggressively assert your rights to custody, visitation or parenting time in all matters, including disputes involving relocation (removal).
• Paternity actions: A paternity action may be pursued to establish the paternity of a child or challenge the alleged paternity of a child. We represent the rights of unmarried couples with support and visitation issues and protect the rights of both mothers and fathers in paternity disputes. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
• Adoption: Adoption is a complicated and emotional process. It is important to understand your rights and obligations and to secure your rights now and into the future. We are available to represent biological and adoptive parents in domestic cases, including foster parent adoptions.
• Guardianship: We represent our clients seeking guardianship involving minor children, incompetent, or elderly persons.
• Domestic Violence: Our attorneys have many years of experience handling cases involving domestic violence and other neglect or abuse situations.
