Family Law
Fitzpatrick Lentz & Bubba has substantial experience in all aspects of family law and domestic relations. We have handled divorce, alimony, support and custody/visitation matters, in cases ranging from amicable settlements through hotly contested proceedings. In addition, the firm has represented clients in adoption and guardianship issues.
If your loved one's ability to make decisions about his or her finances and medical treatment becomes compromised due to mental illness, an accident or another reason, he or she may need to have a guardian appointed by the court. A guardian can make important decisions on their behalf when the family does not have the guidance of a power of attorney or health care directive estate documents. Whether an emergency circumstance warrants a temporary order, or full guardianship is required for long-term care, our attorneys are well-qualified to advise your family on your options and walk you through the process of petitioning the court to gain decision-making power as a guardian.
We are uniquely equipped to address issues of equitable distribution and the often complex questions of the valuation of marital assets. To provide full service to our corporate and business clients, the family law department, in conjunction with our estate planning and taxation department, can assist with the maintenance and preservation of assets.
