Focused on Your Future
Schapiro-Thorn is a family law firm handling all aspects of divorce, marital dissolution and legal separation.
While we always work to achieve settlements through negotiation when possible, we aggressively litigate to protect our clients’ interests when necessary. Our firm also provides advice and legal services in the areas of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, domestic partnership agreements and paternity.
We are particularly experienced in matters involving spousal support / marital standard of living, characterization of separate vs. community property, stock options and deferred compensation plans, and business valuations.
Schapiro-Thorn is well versed in custody and access issues including "move-away" and other multi-jurisdictional/international cases involving Hague Convention and UCCJEA matters.
