Our Capabilities

The Divorce and Family Law Group at Shaines handles all aspects of family law, including the preparation and execution of prenuptial agreements, adoption, legal separations, and divorce. Shaines' family law attorneys work with you to educate you on family law and guide you through the legal process. Our attorneys work diligently to ensure that your best interests are protected and have the breadth of experience and expertise necessary to handle the most substantial and challenging divorce disputes.

After the initial filing of a petition for divorce, legal separation, or custody (now parental rights and responsibilities), the parties to the proceeding are now typically required to participate in mediation. Mediation is a method for resolving disputes that emphasizes cooperation between the parties and permits the parties to be in charge of the outcome of their case. However, if the parties are unable to come to an agreement, our experienced attorneys will work with you through the contested divorce process. Whether your case is mediated or goes to trial, we will represent you at every stage of the proceeding to ensure that your rights are protected.
