Divorce

At The Law Office of Dawn R. Underhill, we take divorce and related matters very seriously. When we first talk with a client who wants to file for divorce, we spend a great deal of time trying to understand what led to this decision. This enlightens us as to what the client expects or wants to achieve in the divorce and its related matters such as property division or child custody determinations. It can also uncover elements of the case that can strengthen our client’s position. Our goal is always to put our client in the strongest possible position prior to settlement negotiations with the other spouse’s attorney.

• Child custody and visitation
