Divorce & Family Law
The family law team at Fletcher Tilton represents clients in probate and family courts, and in mediation, litigation, and pre-trial arguments concerning divorce-related matters. Additionally, the firm’s depth of resources in special needs planning, trust administration, estate planning and real estate allows the team to assist clients with all the legal needs that may arise from a divorce or other family law action.
We handle custody and guardianship cases involving children with special needs, and represent parties in same sex marriage cases, including the custody of children and the division of assets, with special consideration of the federal law’s impact on divorce. Further, our team can help with legal needs following a divorce, from trust and estate concerns to real estate matters. Our attorneys also assist clients on other issues, such as 209A protective orders and paternity actions.
