Family Law

The practice of Family Law generally encompasses Divorce, Dissolution, Legal Separation, Paternity, Custody and Adoptions.  These cases involve the most intimate and important aspects of peoples’ lives.  In coding the severity of examples of life events that create psycho-social stressors, the American Psychiatric Association has historically rated marital separation as “severe” and divorce as “extreme.”  Issues of custody and parenting orders for children, their own financial future, the fair and equitable division of their property, medical insurance coverage and many other issues related to their particular circumstances all lead to making this a very traumatic time for everyone involved.

For nearly 40 years, members of Inscore, Rinehardt, Whitney and Enderle have been effectively handling the full range of Family Law issues.  They have the knowledge to give competent advice to clients who find themselves in need.  Many parties seeking advice for their particular circumstances will come to our office with preconceived ideas about what will happen in their case.  Those ideas are often conveyed to them by well-meaning and concerned family and friends who have experienced a divorce or custody proceeding.  While this information is intended to be helpful, prospective clients need to understand that although certain principles generally apply to all cases, the facts of each case are unique to that client’s circumstances.  Experienced counsel is needed to take the unique facts and circumstances of each client’s case and develop their case in a manner that is designed to achieve a favorable outcome for them and their family.  We provide realistic and straightforward advice designed to achieve the best result we believe is possible with the least emotional and financial devastation.
