Our Family Law Services

At Fargo Law we know that dealing with family law matters can be an emotionally taxing and unsettling experience. We are committed to serving you with the highest levels of ethics and to providing you with the moral and legal support you need to emerge from your familial upheaval as unscathed as possible. To achieve this objective, we routinely offer our clients the following services:

Marriage Dissolution - Our family law attorneys have years of experience handling divorce and separation cases from quick, simple and amicable, to complex marriage dissolution matters that involve factors such as separation, spousal support, child support and visitation rights. We take the time to thoroughly explore the circumstances surrounding your divorce in order to determine the best way forward and to ensure an optimal outcome. We offer legal counsel on the equitable division of marital assets, incomes and debts, and we provide representation in court if it becomes necessary.

Child Custody - Child custody is a sensitive and potentially stressful deliberation process. At Fargo Law we work diligently on behalf of the parents and children involved in each child custody dispute to determine the most amicable arrangements for dividing the child's time. If for whatever reason, an agreement cannot be reached independently regarding shared custody, our child custody lawyers probe the specifics of the case and provide representation in court to settle the matter with a view to producing the outcome that is in the best interest of all parties involved while establishing the role of primary caregiver and determining adequate child support arrangements.

Child Support - While it is often an integral part of divorce proceedings involving minor children, the administration of child support and maintenance benefits become even more critical when there is an issue with establishing paternity or if parental absenteeism presents a roadblock to a child receiving the financial support they deserve. Our Fargo child support lawyers provide counsel and assistance with the process of determining child maintenance payment amounts during divorce proceedings as well as establishing paternity and protecting parental rights in cases that warrant it.

We also offer legal counsel, services and representation for the following:

• Division of Marital Property
• Spousal Support and Alimony
