Divorce & Family Law

Whether you seek a divorce or you are facing a divorce, the decisions you make will have a significant impact on your future. Finding the best divorce lawyer means finding the right divorce lawyer for you and your family.  Divorce is about the future, and depending on your life stage, divorce can have a dramatic impact on your finances. If children are involved, then your divorce may also impact their future.

Finding the right lawyer to help you navigate change and regain control of your life during and after a divorce is a critical first step in your journey. The right attorney can effectively communicate with your spouse and your spouse’s attorney. The right divorce lawyer will be a strong advocate for you and your interests. Effective, compassionate and thoughtful, the family law team at Monaghan Leahy understands that your voice must be heard. Encouraging productive negotiations may be important to keeping costs down and smoothing a path to effective co-parenting, but in some instances litigation is required and the experienced lawyers at Monaghan Leahy are prepared to represent you in court.
