From divorce and child custody to prenups and grandparents' rights, the attorneys at our Albany family law firm have the experience and knowledge to make sure you receive the dedicated Troy family law representation you deserve.

We handle a variety of family law-related matters, including:

  • Divorce

    We handle all aspects of divorce cases, whether it is a contested or uncontested divorce. We'll work with you to finalize child custody, modify visitation and resolve division of marital property. We also help with spousal maintenance orders.
  • Child Custody

    If you have chlidren, are not married to the other parent, and are having problems regarding custody/visitation of your child/children in common, we can help. We are also experienced in modifications of existing custody orders.
  • Support

    We are experienced in establishing support orders as well as obtaining modifications and enforcing existing orders.
  • Separation agreements

    We recognize that sometimes a complicated divorce proceeding might not be the answer, but a legal separation might be more appropriate instead.
  • Prenuptial agreements

    While no one wants to plan for divorce, the unfortunate reality is that nearly half of all marriages end that way. Plan for the future and protect your assets by considering a prenuptial agreement.
  • Grandparents' rights

    Grandparents have rights, too. If your grandchild's parents are unable to care for the child, we will work with you to apply to the court for visitation.
  • Same-Marriage

    Same-sex couples or other domestic partners can obtain the same rights and protections of a marriage
  • Annulment

    Another alternative to divorce and legal separation is annulment. Our attorneys can help you decide what is best for your situation.

In addition to handling a full range of Troy family law issues, we are experienced in handling domestic violence matters.
