FAMILY LAW

OVERVIEW
Our highly experienced team of attorneys and paralegals provide strong, supportive advocacy in all aspects of family law matters including parenting, decision-making, support, and property division.

Family law matters always involve emotional, personal, and financial challenges.  The attorneys of Cooper Cargill Chant understand that a divorce or parenting dispute can be one of the most difficult and stressful events in a person’s life.  Our highly experienced team of attorneys and paralegals provide strong, supportive advocacy in all aspects of family law matters including parenting, decision-making, support, and property division.

​

As your attorneys, it is our duty to advise you of the best approach for your case and strenuously advocate for your position.  We will inform you of your rights and obligations and assist you in arriving at a fair resolution of your domestic matters.  If you would like an out-of-court settlement of your case, we will assist you in settlement negotiations, advise you of all settlement offers, advise you as to whether such offers are fair and reasonable, and whether a Court would likely make similar ruling.

​

We can represent you in mediation or act as a mediator.  If a settlement cannot be reached, we will be prepared to effectively and aggressively litigate your case.  Regardless of your preferred approach, we will take the time to make certain you have a full understanding of all the issues enabling you to make informed decisions.  Our lawyers can help you with all your legal needs.
