From Uncontested Divorce to Complex Contested Cases, We Can Help

Some couples — often those ending relatively brief marriages without children — are able to move forward with a relatively quick and affordable uncontested, no-fault divorce. In New Hampshire, you may even be able to avoid appearing in court at all. We can guide you through the legal steps.

More often, important issues must be negotiated or even litigated in court. We are strong negotiators, determined to help you be the best-prepared party in your case. This is the best way to pursue your best interests — and prevent outcomes you could later regret — on key issues including:

• Child custody and visitation/parenting time
• Child support and alimony
• Property division, including high-value assets such as real estate, business interests, retirement accounts, and other complex investments

Strengths in Case Building, Negotiation, and Litigation when Necessary

With so much at stake, you need a divorce lawyer you trust and can be candid with under all circumstances. We will help you form a plan based on factors such as:

• Any accusations of fault — including adultery, desertion, or habitual intoxication
• Each spouse's education and employment, your financial situation, and children's relationships with each parent
• Specific considerations such as any desire to reconcile, your priorities regarding specific property, insurance issues and more

Our lawyers truly go the full distance in protecting and defending our clients' rights. Attorney Stephen Wight has appealed family law cases all the way to the Supreme Courts in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
