Stacey E. Andersen, LLC

I understand the difficult nature of disputes that arise within interpersonal relationships and the strain that my clients endure throughout a divorce, custody dispute, or other family law matter. I embrace an advocacy and business model that focuses on zealous client representation that is tailored to the individual client's needs and goals. I wholeheartedly reject a "one-size-fits-all" approach to advocacy and problem solving for the client. I do not simply apply the law to the facts of the client's case, but I develop a deeper understanding of the client's issue from the personal, financial and practical perspectives. Effective problem solving is a holistic process. I just as actively serve as a litigator on behalf of my clients, as I seek solutions through peaceful and efficient forms of alternative dispute resolution.

The Financials of Divorce

The financials of your divorce might be used to determine what kind of divorce to pursue, or even whether or not to get a divorce. How much will you have to pay? What will be left? What kind of post-divorce financial life can you look forward to, say two, five, or ten years from now? Will you be able to keep, or be forced to sell your home? How will you pay for your children's higher education? Spousal support? Child Support? Special needs? Retirement? This is only a partial list of the financial questions we discuss with you.
