There are few events in a person's life more difficult to face than problems affecting your family relationships. The practice of Family Law and Domestic Relations requires attorneys who are aware of and sensitive to the highly personal and emotional aspects of this area of practice. Our attorneys take the time to listen to each client and develop an appreciation for the emotional difficulties that client is facing.
Divorce practice requires an understanding of the complex process of distributing marital property between the parties. The allocation of retirement assets, the sale or refinancing of real estate, issues of valuation and the allocation of marital debt require thoughtful analysis of the marital estate in conjunction with the client's personal and financial needs.

Collaborative Divorce
Sometimes a divorce is better accomplished outside of the courtroom, in a less litigious, more collaborative fashion. Attorney Jessica Ecker is one of a small handful of attorneys in New Hampshire and the Seacoast who is trained in the practice of Collaborative Divorce Law. Collaborative practice is a great option for people who need to maintain an ongoing relationship with their spouse and wish to reduce the stress and anxiety which comes with the court process. In Collaborative Law, the parties agree to try to resolve all issues without going to court. They each have their own collaborative attorney and, in a series of meetings, try to negotiate agreements on all issues. Other professionals, such as divorce "coaches", child specialists and financial professionals may be brought in to help. There is incentive to cooperate because if the parties decide to litigate, both parties attorneys must withdraw. For more information about collaborative divorce, go to www.collaborativelawnh.org.
