Family

Our strength is advocacy. Our goal is resolution.

Historically, courts have hesitated to intervene in what they considered to be the domestic sphere. Therefore, many victims of unhappy marriages and domestic abuse endured ongoing oppression and a feeling of powerlessness and isolation as they became part of an insular minority of disenfranchised individuals. Mazzara & Small will not hesitate to step in and speak up for clients engaged in family law settlement and litigation. We seek justice by facilitating a fair resolution. Call or e-mail us to schedule an initial consultation. The scope of our family law practice encompasses:
-Child custody
-Visitation
-Child support
-Divorce
-Orders of protection
-Relocation
-Premarital agreements
-Paternity rights
-Children's rights
-Biological parent's rights
-Substitute parent's rights
-Primary caregiver's rights
-Dependent spouse's rights
