Child-Related Decisions: Using my 78-point proprietary materials, the Parenting and Custody Toolkit (PACT), I'll help you go beyond the basics of a detailed parenting time schedule to ensure that you calculate child support accurately, develop the most thorough plan for successful joint custody of minor children, draft a detailed roadmap to accommodate the nuances of co-parenting, and have a plan to make decisions collaboratively, with dozens of provisions that you should consider addressing before they cause conflict in the post-divorce years.
Asset Division: Because I am a Family Law Financial Analyst, I can assist you in understanding a broad continuum of assets to determine a distribution that is not only appropriate numbers-wise but also desirable in light of the parties' short-term and long-term needs. In just the past 12 months, my clients have presented a total of 35 different types of assets. My Discovery-Driven Deep Dive is the 68-point proprietary financial protocol I developed in 2026 guides that thorough process.
Spousal Support: Although some cases include spousal support and some do not, I always review the three types of spousal support with my clients and explain the statutory factors under ORS 107.105(1)(d). Whether your case involves one or more of the three types (compensatory, transitional, and maintenance) or none at all, we will discuss the factors and include in your Marital Settlement Agreement your decisions and rationale.
Debt Division: Disentangling financially is a primary objective of any divorce. I will examine your debtor-creditor relationships and document each one in your Marital Settlement Agreement to ensure that each party's responsibilities remain consistent with your preferred outcome.
