For more than 20 years, I have worked as a family law attorney providing legal counsel and representation to individuals and families in crisis. From divorce to child custody to modifications, I know the law and I know how to aggressively protect the interests of my clients.

Divorce After a Long Marriage

Though a bad marriage can seem to last forever, courts tend to view marriages lasting 20 years or more as long-term marriages. Usually after 20 years, children of the couple are well into their teenage years, making child support a short-term or non-existent issue. Issues more apt to be relevant pertain to:

• Alimony/Spousal Support
• Health Insurance Coverage
• Equitable Division of Property
• Right to Pensions and Retirement Accounts

When making final decisions pertaining to your divorce, the court takes into consideration a large discrepancy between the incomes of the two spouses. Another factor is whether one partner was a stay-at-home spouse and one was the primary wage earner.

Whether you are the husband or the wife, the primary wage-earning spouse or the stay-at-home spouse, you need an experienced attorney to handle all of these issues. At my firm, you will find the legal experience you need to protect and preserve your rights and way of life.
