Settlement / Alternative Dispute Resolution

Settlement / Alternative Dispute Resolution

While some cases require litigation, court resolution of issues can be costly, uncertain in ultimate outcome, and prolonged. Therefore, alternative means of resolving matters should be considered and pursued when possible and appropriate. The available options are direct negotiations, mediation, Collaborative Divorce, and advising/representing clients engaged in mediation. KLG represents clients in all of these options, applying our knowledge of the law to the unique facts of your matter, and considering the interpersonal factors, all of which must be navigated to reach an optimal resolution.

Litigation

While most divorces and family law matters conclude with an agreement between the parties, many involve litigation before an agreement is reached. Others are litigated through the conclusion of a trial. KLG has extensive experience litigating cases and guides your matter through the courts with efficiency, vigorous advocacy, and acute attention to the construction of the narrative that will present your matter in the most favorable light.

Agreements

KLG negotiates effectively for our clients to reach agreements in resolution of their matters, which are for many the most significant contract in their lives. We have decades of experience negotiating and drafting settlement agreements that are as inviolate as possible, and also stand the test of time in accommodating future circumstances as necessary and allowable. We apply the same skills to negotiating and drafting prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements.

Appeals

Appeals are available from trial court decisions that made errors in either the law or facts. Appellate work involves complex knowledge of the law, appellate procedure, drafting briefs, and oral argument. KLG has successfully represented clients in prosecuting such appeals and defending against them.

Domestic Violence / Intimate Partner Abuse

The dynamics and law of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse are complex and challenging. We are highly skilled and experienced at addressing such abuse in the many ways it can be present – such as physical, financial, and emotional – and in the many legal areas it may impact our clients – such as child custody, support, orders of protection and the equitable distribution of property in divorce.

Custody

The custody of children is often the most sensitive and emotional in any legal matter. KLG has broad experience helping our clients reduce the impact of divorce on children and deep knowledge of the psychological and legal issues entailed in achieving positive outcomes for children and our clients.

Post-Judgment Matters

After divorce, circumstances may require a change in agreements or court orders involving financial issues or custody of children. In addition, when the other party has not complied with legal obligations, legal assistance may be required to enforce clients’ rights to child or spousal support, the distribution of assets, or the custody of or access with children. KLG attorneys have extensive experience in both successfully securing relief for clients bringing post-judgment matters and defending clients against such proceedings when they are unjustly brought.
