Mental Health Issues in Divorce Litigation

We have extensive experience litigating divorce cases made complicated by mental health problems faced by our client, our client's spouse or their children. This is a specialized area of practice because it requires the attorneys to work in close connection with medical experts and to understand sometimes-arcane medical terminology and diagnoses. Mental health issues — such as depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and alcohol or drug addiction — create difficulties in reaching and crafting acceptable divorce agreements. It can be especially hard to resolve worries about child custody and visitation arrangements in these cases.

Complex Financial Issues in Divorce Litigation

The dissolution of a high net worth marriage in which the spouses have substantial assets — whether accumulated before or during the marriage — requires intensive investigation and delicate negotiation. To protect our client's financial interests during valuation and division of marital property and establishment of spousal maintenance, contractual alimony and child support amounts, we conduct reviews of the marital estate, prenuptial agreements and each spouse's individual needs and resources.

"A lot of lawyers don't like to do math. Not only do we like it, we're good at it. Some of our attorneys have specialized degrees in business or finance. Our clients appreciate our ability to interpret complex tax and financial concepts in clear language that helps them understand the potential consequences of a proposed marital settlement." — Firm co-founder Susan Myres

Multi-State or International Divorce Litigation

When a divorce or post-divorce dispute crosses state or international borders, the legal issues involved become more complex. Which state's or nation's laws should guide the proceedings? Are divorce and post-divorce court orders from one jurisdiction enforceable in another?

Finding the best answer to these questions at the beginning of a family law dispute can have a major impact on strategy and outcome. Myres, Dale & Associates, P.C., regularly handles multistate and international family law litigation with a high degree of competence and confidence.
