FAMILY LAW
Family law involves some of the most sensitive and complex issues in legal practice. It touches on personal conflicts like marriage dissolution, custody, and financial conflicts regarding equitable division of property. Ms. Copeland will help you through this difficult process and plot a course for the future. She will endeavor to resolve your matter with mediation or alternative dispute resolution as it is less costly and better for your family, but if this is not successful, she can litigate your matter to the fullest.
Divorce
This firm handles all facets of divorce including complex property division, business evaluation, alimony, and family law related matters.
Business Matters
Your business will be impacted by a divorce. Make sure you understand the process, evaluation, and division of business assets.
Legal Separation
Divorce is not the only solution available to families today. We can offer and explain additional options for your family law matter.
Post Judgment of Divorce
The Judgment of Divorce is not the end of your matter. Parties must act to secure property, retirement, real estate and so forth. If you fail to do so properly, this could lead to a permanent loss of benefits in the future.
Retirement / QDRO, EDRO and DRO
These are special orders that are prepared and entered post judgment of divorce to divide retirement and pension including survivor benefits.
Custody, Parenting Time & Support
These cases are fact driven and highly personal to each client. There is nothing more important than the safety and well-being of your children. The only way to legally evaluate such matters is by having a consultation.
Post-Divorce Estate Planning
Be sure to update your estate plan as the arrangements made before your divorce must be reviewed and revised to accommodate this change in your life. You also may want to modify your patient advocate or power of attorney pending the divorce. See Estate Planning.
