COMPLEX DIVORCE REPRESENTATION
The firm’s practice focuses on complex divorce representation in King County with an emphasis on cases involving:
• Substantial estates, stock options and awards, business and professional practice valuation, international or multi-state assets, real property valuation, separate property tracing, and spousal and child support.
• Family trusts, partnerships or closely-held family businesses.
• Concerns about privacy and potential management of media interest.
• Analysis of the enforceability of Prenuptial Agreements and litigation of such agreements.
• Spousal and child support issues arising in high-income families.
• Consultation regarding potential filing of a divorce or legal separation.
• Representation of family law clients in mediation and arbitration.
• Court hearings on financial and parenting issues.
• Trial of divorce cases that cannot be resolved through the settlement/mediation process.
Solutions in these complex cases are often achieved through the analysis of financial information and consultation with other professionals. These professionals may include C.P.A.’s, forensic accountants, financial advisors, valuation experts, appraisers, vocational experts, estate planning and business attorneys, parenting evaluators, psychologists and other mental health professionals.
MEDIATION REPRESENTATION
• The firm’s practice includes assisting clients in mediating their divorce settlements. Most divorce cases benefit from mediation at an appropriate point in the legal process – and most clients vastly prefer a mediated settlement to a court resolution. The timing of mediation varies from case to case, as mediation is only useful when both parties have the information necessary to settle their case.
• We work with clients on parenting and financial issues in a variety of mediation settings and can recommend skilled mediators knowledgeable about the issues in dispute.
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Our practice includes the preparation and negotiation of Prenuptial Agreements under the laws of the State of Washington.
