Alternative Dispute Resolution in Family Law
Recognizing that alimony, child support, visitation, and parenting disputes are often emotionally charged, Orr & Reno’s Divorce & Family Law attorneys approach these issues with a high level of empathy, efficiency and inventive problem solving. Our seasoned attorneys blend these qualities to steer clients through difficult financial and parenting disputes with the utmost care and competence to achieve results that are in the best interests of the client and the clients’ children.
Alimony awards are based on statutory criteria. The need of one spouse and the other spouse’s ability to pay is a fundamental consideration. We assist high-asset families and high-wage earners with cases involving complex asset and income scenarios, which often include business and real estate valuations. Our clients include business owners, partners, LLC members, investors, salaried professionals, W2 wage earners and the spouses of these individuals as well as trust beneficiaries. For individuals with less complex financial situations, we provide the same level of dedication to ensure equitable and clear resolutions, regardless of the value of the assets at stake. We treat each client’s case with the personalized attention and rigor it deserves.
Child support issues can arise in any case where there is a child under 18 or who has not yet graduated from high school, or children with special needs where post high school financial assistance might be appropriate. While New Hampshire has adopted child support guidelines that are presumed to apply, they are subject to various statutory factors that might support deviation from the guidelines. Our Divorce & Family Law attorneys will guide clients in establishing, enforcing and modifying child support orders.
Orr & Reno’s Divorce & Family Law team has substantial experience assisting with the resolution of parenting disputes arising in the context of both married and unwed parents. These cases present emotional and logistical challenges that our experienced attorneys are prepared to tackle to achieve results aimed at furthering the best interests of the child.
