One of the first things we do in our initial meeting with a divorce client is to determine whether his or her case is appropriate for some form of alternative dispute resolution.

If it appears that both parties in the divorce can come to agreement on the critical issues - including child custody and parenting time, property and debt division - attorney Donald McGuigan will explain the benefits of mediation as a means of reaching a divorce settlement.

We take a more aggressive approach when a divorce is contested and has to be litigated or fought in court.

  • At the time the divorce complaint is filed, we seek restraining orders if necessary to stop the other spouse from looting the estate or removing the children to another jurisdiction.
  • We conduct discovery to identify assets, debts and behaviors that are currently harmful or dangerous to our client or that underlie the breakup of the marriage.
  • In high net-worth divorce cases, we enlist financial experts if needed to locate and evaluate assets.
  • When needed, we enlist child custody experts to offer testimony.
  • Often, we refer our clients and their children for counseling.

An "Adjustment" of the Family Relationship

Attorney Donald McGuigan encourages our clients who are parents to think of divorce as an "adjustment" of the family relationship. Even after couples are divorced, they will still be parents, and their children will still rely on them for the same things they relied on before the divorce.
