The Law Offices of Gina G. Pattermann, P.C. is a versatile and experienced law firm that provides skilled legal representation for a variety of family law matters, including:

Divorce – The dissolution of marriage is never simple, and we take an innovative approach to divorce law that involves utilizing legal strategies that keep the needs of your family first.

Child and Spousal Support – State guidelines mandate child support levels based on income, but we can propose plans that make sense for your family outside of these recommendations. Maintenance (formerly known as “alimony”) allows for spousal support based on several factors, including income, financial obligations and custodial arrangements.

Custody and Visitation – Often a contentious issue between partners, we’ll work with both parties to come to a reasonable custody/visitation arrangement that is best for the children.

Paternity – If there is doubt as to the birth father of a child, paternity results can often change the scope of a divorce case. A sensitive topic for many couples, we will delicately handle paternity cases with discretion and compassion.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements – We offer effective pre-nuptial services that can not only safeguard your assets, investments and liquid savings, but also your retirement and pension plans as well.

Post-Decree Modifications – After divorce, major life changes (job loss, illness, births, deaths, etc.) can drastically affect your original divorce decree. We can amend your initial decree to fit your current situation.

Domestic Violence – We offer effective and private legal options for individuals and families who are the victims of abuse. Our on-site counselors can also provide assistance as needed for domestic violence issues.

Property Division – One of the most complex elements of divorce, we will fight for what you deserve when dividing tangible assets and debts.
