Domestic Relations

Ending a marriage is undoubtedly one of the most stressful and emotionally difficult processes that a family can face. At Stampone Law, we understand the toll that separation or divorce can take, and strive to provide compassionate and sensitive guidance during such trying times.

In addition to being painful, divorce – or dissolution of marriage as it is also known – is a complex legal undertaking. It requires an understanding of real estate law; asset identification, valuation and division; tax law; corporate law; and numerous other areas of practice. The experienced attorneys of Stampone Law will take the time to carefully evaluate your circumstances to achieve the best results possible for you and your family. We will guide you through asset and debt allocation and distribution, alimony, child custody and support decisions (click here for more information on child custody and support) and any other issues that arise during your divorce. We will make the process as smooth and as civil as possible.

Stampone Law attorneys are also available to handle prenuptial agreements. A prenuptial agreement is a contract that an engaged couple enters into before their marriage. “Prenups,” as they are often called, typically list each person’s assets and debts and address what the individuals’ property rights will be after marriage. A prenuptial agreement will usually also specify how property will be divided if the couple divorces.

A common misconception is that prenuptial agreements are just for the wealthy. In fact, it is always a good idea to address such sensitive financial issues before they can become a problem. We can help you decide whether a prenup is right for you. Our attorneys understand that prenuptial agreements are sensitive matters and will handle yours with compassion and tact.

Examples of other domestic issues with which we can assist you include cohabitation agreements, paternity, post-marital agreements (contracts similar to prenuptial agreements, but entered into during the couple’s marriage) and domestic partnerships.

With any domestic matter, it is crucial to have a trusted, caring attorney on your side. Our attorneys have the skill, experience and compassion that are so important in achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family. Should you have a question about a family law case or be in need of our assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
