Advice and Guidance in Trying Times

Rising divorce rates. Complex child custody. Complicated family planning.

Every day more and more families are challenged by issues that will affect them throughout their lives. Decisions made during these critical periods in a family’s life can be some of the most difficult decisions a family will ever make. Fox Rothschild helps our clients understand their legal needs during these trying times, and guides you and your family to help ensure that you achieve the results you need – now and for the future. Our Family Law Practice attorneys can address and resolve these delicate matters with care, agility and hands-on service.

At Fox Rothschild, we understand that family law issues are private, and we’re sensitive to the privacy of our clients. We pay attention to your needs and fight hard for your results.

Personal Attention to Complex Issues

Family law issues are never simple. As the issues involved in parting ways are often complex and conflicting, our clients seek attorneys that not only know the law but also see and understand the whole picture. Seeing the whole picture means understanding the value of assts such as business or real estate associated with the parties’ business and personal interests, but also the value of personal residence(s), pensions and other assets such as interests in sophisticated business relationships like limited partnerships (LPs), limited liability companies (LLCs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Our attorneys have argued:
* precedent-setting cases on spousal support, child support, relocation and grandparent visitation
* reported cases before the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York and precedent-setting cases before the Delaware Family Court
* federal court cases under the Hague Convention to deter parental kidnapping from the country of habitual residence
