Family Law

Hillsboro Oregon Family Law Attorneys

Have you been served with divorce papers? Are you thinking about divorce but are worried about child custody or property division? Are you concerned about child support and spousal support agreements? Are you an unmarried parent who wants to establish child custody or visitation rights in a paternity action? Are you wondering if the court will enforce your prenuptial agreement?

If so, you need to speak with an experienced and knowledgeable family law attorney.

Comprehensive and Compassionate Family Law Services

At McNeil & Goldstein, in Hillsboro, Oregon, we are experienced attorneys who provide comprehensive family law services to clients in Washington and Multnomah Counties. From prenuptial agreements and divorce mediation to post-divorce modifications, we can handle any family-related legal matter. We have practiced family law for decades, and bring with us a great deal of experience with divorce and family law matters when we represent you.

We understand how difficult divorce and family-related legal issues can be for the entire family. That is why we provide you with compassionate and knowledgeable legal advice in a comfortable hometown setting.

A Different Approach to Divorce and Family Law Matters

Our goal is to ensure a fair and reasonable outcome for you in your divorce or family law dispute. We will sit down with you, discuss your goals, and analyze your situation to construct a comprehensive plan to achieve the outcome you want. Unlike some family law attorneys, we tailor our legal strategy to fit your family's unique circumstances.

If you and your spouse are able to work together to resolve the issues you haven't agreed upon, we may recommend that you attempt divorce mediation. If there is a history of domestic abuse or an unequal balance of power, we may recommend that you attempt to resolve your disputes with lawyer-to-lawyer negotiation or traditional divorce litigation.

We answer your questions and explain your options throughout the divorce proceedings so that you can make informed decisions. We provide our honest opinion as to the possible outcome of your case. We counsel and advise you on the best methods for resolving your divorce or family law dispute.

When you are contemplating divorce, you have many questions:

• How will we split up the marital property and assets?
• Who will receive custody of the children, and what factors will the court consider when deciding custody and visitation?
• Which parent will pay child support and how much will it be?
• How will a parenting time or visitation plan work?
• Is payment of spousal support or alimony possible?
• Can we save money and time by using divorce mediation instead of going to court?
• Who will be responsible for paying our outstanding debts?

Paternity Actions · Change of Custody or Support · FAPA Restraining Orders

In addition to handling all aspects of divorce, we also draft prenuptial agreements and represent clients in legal separations, paternity actions, post-divorce motions to modify custody or support, and enforcement actions. We also provide legal counsel related to domestic partnerships.

We understand the importance of having proper legal documents in place to protect your safety and interests. Our attorneys can help you in domestic abuse proceedings, including motions for Restraining Orders under Oregon's Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA).

If you are considering divorce or you are already divorced and need to enforce or change child custody or child support, you want the experienced and qualified family law representation our lawyers provide.
