Family Law

My goal is to help all of those facing challenging legal changes in their lives, whether they are contemplating divorce and need someone to help explore and explain their options, or are ready to begin the process of divorce and understand the needs and benefits of solid legal advice and experience. In addition, I work with those who have begun the process of their divorce, but are in need of extra assistance.

I fulfill my continuing education hours through various programs focusing on family law issues such as custody, support and property division.

The following example cases are presented in the words of my former clients:

Custody Issues:

"I was facing the prospect of losing my children to my ex-wife, who was preparing to move them overseas and out of my life. With Sue's help I was not only able to keep them in the country with me, but was always there when another unforeseen issue arose.

After our initial separation, my ex-wife attempted to take my three children out of the country and out of my life forever. The few lawyers I spoke to initially suggested tactics that would not only hurt my ex-wife, but hurt my children in the crossfire. Sue was different, and took a very practical and realistic approach to my case. When my ex-wife's lawyer accused me of some of the worst things imaginable, I came out on top because we didn't use those tactics.

I won custody of my kids because of Sue and am forever grateful." - Erik

Divorce:

"I never thought I would be in a position to need a family attorney for an impending divorce. After unsuccessfully being able to resolve our differences through a mediator, a friend recommended Sue Moravec to me. She explained that Sue worked with her and treated her with respect, integrity and honor through her difficult divorce challenges. Sue went far above that for me. She explained every step of the way (in English I could understand) and there was no fluff. Sue was compassionate, but also kept me focused on my goal." - Rosemarie

Non-Traditional Family Adoption:

"We explored adoption and surrogacy in our efforts to build our family. Sue guided us and helped us throughout the journey and was always available, and supportive. She provided an ear or advice when we needed help or direction. She excelled as both our advocate and our counsel. Relying on her legal expertise and advice, we now have 3 beautiful children. We will most definitely rely on her once again if we decide to add to our family in the future. We enthusiastically recommend Sue to anyone in need of family law services." - Ben and Michael

I offer practical and clear advice on the issues that my clients face. My experience in both litigation and mediation allows me to provide a complete range of options for my clients in all areas of family law including child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property settlements and new areas of law that emphasize reproductive rights.

Upon obtaining my license from the State Bar in 2001, I opened my practice focusing on family law.
