“Experienced, Aggressive Client-Centered Representation That Matters”

  • How may we help you?

Divorce Law

The attorneys at Sabra & Aspden understand that the divorce process is a difficult and emotional experience for our clients.  We know that going through a divorce is one of the most troubling times you will face in your life, with financial and psychological impacts for your entire family.

Our clients facing divorce can count on personalized, compassionate service and hard work from the attorneys at Sabra & Aspden.  Whether you are filing for divorce or have been served with divorce papers, we will immediately begin working on your case to find the best solution for you.  Throughout every step of the divorce process, we will be there to advise you on issues relating to child custody and visitation, spousal support, property division, and restraining and protective orders.

In cases involving child custody and visitation, the best interests of the children are the focus of the courts.  We are sure that is your concern as well.  While child support and spousal support involve formulas and guidelines, the calculations may be challenged based on the value of your assets and debts.

In a simple divorce case, our attorneys ensure that your rights are protected as you and your spouse reach an agreeable settlement.  However, if your case must go to court, we have the knowledge and trial experience necessary to litigate your matter to obtain the best outcome for you and your family.

Our attorneys have also assisted clients with issues that arise after a final divorce ruling.  Those issues may arise from a change in circumstances, misrepresentation from one of the parties, or an error in the initial divorce decision.

Whether your divorce is simple or complex, the attorneys at Sabra & Aspden can help you.  For more information or to schedule a free consultation about a divorce, contact Sabra & Aspden today.
