Assertive Lawyer Advocating for Your Interests in Family Law Matters in Chesterfield County

Some people have close relationships with their family members. The legal issues that arise during the divorce process can dramatically affect your relationships with the people who matter the most to you. You may be struggling with how to protect your best interests while preserving your personal connections. You may be struggling with how to navigate communications with a difficult spouse during the separation and post-divorce. With help from an experienced lawyer, you can focus on addressing and resolving your legal concerns while minimizing the conflict that can cause an emotional drain on you.

We understand the difficulties you are facing, and we can help you find creative solutions that reflect your unique situation.

Mediation and collaborative law work for many people, allowing them to retain more control over the outcome of family law cases. We can help you determine whether these options may be helpful in your situation. However, we have successfully litigated many cases in Virginia courts, protecting our clients' rights and best interests.

Why Our Customized Approach Works Best for Chesterfield Family Law Issues

You, your children, and your situation are one-of-a-kind. Plans and approaches that fit other families are not necessarily the best ways to resolve your issues. Through detailed conversations with you, the attorney will learn details of your needs, goals, and potential problems. Armed with this knowledge, we can devise tailored solutions that will meet your needs. We can negotiate with the other party, enter mediation, or have your case presented in court. Our primary goals are protecting your best interests, helping you make informed decisions, and reducing the negative impact on your family relationships and on you.

We Can Help With All Your Chesterfield, Virginia Family Law Needs

Family law covers a broad range of legal issues, typically involving some kind of dispute between family members. These include:

• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
• Divorce
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Parenting plans
• Child support, including healthcare costs and education expenses
• Spousal support
• Property division by equitable distribution, which addresses all funds and accounts, business interests, different types of retirement accounts, debts, and other assets
• Post-divorce modifications
• Enforcing court orders

Parties can save time and money if they are able to reach an out of court agreement. Peaceful but firm negotiation providing an out-of-court settlement can also help to preserve important family connections. However, not every situation can be resolved amicably.

Some Virginia Family Law Matters Are More Complex Than Others

If you and your spouse constantly argue to the point that it affects your everyday life, we refer to that as a high-conflict divorce. In these situations, everyone involved can suffer needlessly, including your children. When your soon-to-be ex badmouths you to your children, creates a conflict just for the sake of arguing, or attempts to coerce you into accepting an unfair agreement, you need to work with an attorney who knows how to handle combative situations.

High-asset divorces are also full of potential disputes and complications. Together, you and your spouse may own multiple properties, valuable collections, and businesses. To equitably divide your assets you must first determine accurate values. Trusts or inheritances may be involved. Your lawyer needs to have the resources, skills, and experience to help you navigate these complexities.

No matter how complex your situation is, Carol A. N. Breit, Attorney at Law, can provide you with the advice that you need in a divorce.
