Family Law is a broad term used for any type of case that involves legal proceedings that impact a family. This can include divorce, legal separation, paternity, custody, parenting time, child support and Orders for Protection. Family structures can vary between parents with children, unmarried parents with children, same-sex couples with or without children, or third-parties such as grandparents or extended family caring for children. Dan and Traci strive to resolve all of their cases outside of a courtroom through mediation, Early Neutral Evaluation processes, parenting consulting or parenting time expeditors. In many cases, however, parties are not successful through these other forms of conflict resolution. When that is the situation, cases need to progress through the court system, a process called “litigation.” Both Traci and Dan have extensive litigation experience.
Discoveryis often a starting point in family law cases. Through this process, parties are able to “discover” the other party’s assets and debts, as well as their income and budgets/expenses by asking and answering questions and exchanging relevant documents. Gathering this information at the beginning helps outline the items that have to be addressed as a part of the process.
