Divorce, Child Custody & Support, Spousal Maintenance

Miller & Stevens helps clients navigate the complex and emotional landscape of family law. We advise both men and women in achieving fair, swift, and inexpensive resolutions for all types of matters. We realize that each client’s needs and concerns are unique to their family. Our lawyers have experience in all areas of family law, including divorce, child support, child custody, property division, post-decree modifications, spousal maintenance, and guardianships.

In family law or divorce cases, an early evaluation of your case and legal options is critical. It’s preferable to resolve family law disputes in the early stages before the parties incur substantial legal costs. Our lawyers have successfully settled numerous cases at mediation. However, when appropriate, some cases must be vigorously litigated in order for the client to receive a fair result.
