Morris James provides representation in a wide variety of family law matters. We are experienced in divorce related issues such as custody, visitation, property division, child support, alimony and attorney's fees. Gretchen S. Knight is an active family law attorney. The ready availability and assistance of attorneys in our other practice areas further enhances the quality and efficiency of our representation, particularly in complex property division matters that involve the valuation of closely held businesses, professional corporations and partnership interests; the division of profit sharing plans, 401(K) Plans and other retirement and pension assets and complicated tax consequences.
We also handle paternity actions and termination of parental rights matters, as well as adoptions. Increasingly, clients are requesting representation in preparing prenuptial agreements to clarify rights and responsibilities before entering into a marriage. Recognizing the emotionally difficult circumstances surrounding many family law issues, our attorneys believe in the importance of offering competent, sensitive representation with the goal of reaching an amicable resolution, where feasible, and at the same time assisting the individual in maintaining dignity throughout the process. Our conscientious support staff help us serve the client's needs in a responsive, efficient way.
