PRACTICE AREAS

PRACTICE
AREAS

Divorce &
Dissoultion

Guidance through divorce and dissolution matters with an emphasis on clarity, strategy, and long-term outcomes. The firm helps clients understand their options early, manage risk, and move through the process with steady, informed counsel—whether resolution is collaborative or requires litigation.

Children & Parenting Matters

Thoughtful advocacy centered on children’s wellbeing and workable parenting arrangements. The firm prioritizes practical, child-focused plans that reduce unnecessary conflict while remaining prepared to address contested custody or decision-making issues when needed.

Divorce for Clients with Complex Finances

Focused representation for clients whose divorces involve layered financial issues, including closely held businesses, professional practices, executive compensation, real estate portfolios, and substantial investments. The approach combines financial fluency with practical planning to protect value, continuity, and future stability.

Child Support & Spousal Support

Strategic handling of support issues where income is variable, bonus-driven, equity-based, or otherwise complex. This includes careful analysis of compensation structures, long-term obligations, and fairness over time—not just short-term outcomes.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Drafting and negotiating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for clients with existing assets, businesses, professional practices, or anticipated growth. The focus is on clarity, enforceability, and aligning financial planning with family goals.

Post-Decree Matters, Objections & Appeals

Assistance with post-decree issues such as modifications, enforcement, and compliance, as well as objections and appeals in family-law cases statewide when strategically appropriate. This practice area supports clients when circumstances change or when trial-court decisions require review.

OUR VISION

Our Vision

At Cousins Family Law, our vision is to guide families through divorce and dissolution with clarity, discretion, and long-term perspective.

 

We believe family-law representation should reflect the real complexity of our clients’ lives—business interests, professional responsibilities, financial obligations, and, most importantly, children whose stability and wellbeing must remain central. Our role is not to inflame conflict, but to provide steady, strategic counsel that helps clients make sound decisions during a difficult transition.

 

We approach each matter with financial fluency, careful planning, and respect for what is at stake. Whether resolving a case efficiently or litigating when necessary, we focus on outcomes that protect families, preserve value, and support a workable future beyond the legal process.

 

Above all, our vision is to be a trusted advisor during one of life’s most consequential moments—helping clients move forward with confidence, dignity, and a clear path ahead.
