Marker Law & Mediation

Family Law Attorney

 

Marriage is a powerful topic: personal, intimate, political, and spiritual.  The status of marriage is continually evolving as the family changes.  The nuclear family consisting of one man, one woman, and children truly is disappearing.  

The role of stepparents and children, gay and lesbian partners, single fathers and mothers, polygamist families, and children being raised by kin and even non-family members is increasing.  It is truly wonderful that there are so many in the human family willing to step into the position of parents to care for children.  

Regardless of what role you may play in the family dynamic there is a law that probably effects you.

 

Grandparents can apply for visitation, custody, or can seek to adopt their grandchild.  A person, who has raised a child that is not their kin, may seek for custody or adoption.  Parents fight for custody, visitation, and child support.  Husbands, wives, gay and lesbian partners, now through marriage, may divide property, seek alimony, and work to enforce the rights and privileges of marriage.

 

Mr. Marker does not litigate domestic cases. After twenty years fighting in court, he found it was best to encourage the parties to resolve disputes out of court. Mr. Marker will attend mediation with you or will provide mediation services for you and your spouse.  Mr. Marker can also provide legal advice and consulting on how to proceed on your case strategically. Mr. Marker can help you save thousands of dollars and will help you get the outcome that is best for your family outside of the court system.
