The attorneys at Petrelli Previtera, LLC offer caring, sensitive legal representation and have experience handling all aspects of divorce and divorce-related legal issues. Our team can support you in cases involving:
Contested Divorce: A contested divorce refers to a split in which neither spouse can agree on all details of the end of the marriage. Such details include alimony, child custody, division of marital property, and more. Sometimes contested divorces go to trial, and often they can be settled out of court through negotiation. Our marital trial lawyers will help you understand your options for ending your marriage as stress-free as possible.
Child Custody: Determining where your children will live following the end of a marriage is among the most sensitive and potentially contentious issues that arise. Our family law attorneys recognize the importance of maintaining your family ties, and know there is likely nothing more important to you than your children. We will work hard to ensure you are well-represented throughout your divorce to get the child custody agreement that you deserve.
