Custody cases typically begin with custody conciliation conferences and then proceed to a pre-trial conference before the court if the parties are unable to reach an agreement. Divorce cases often involve negotiation of equitable distribution of marital property, support issues, and potential litigation where settlement cannot be reached.

Our firm regularly assists clients in preparing for these proceedings and developing effective strategies tailored to the specific facts of each case.
