Westlake, Ohio, Family Law Attorneys

IF YOU ARE FACING A DIVORCE AND NEED GUIDANCE, WE CAN HELP.

For most families, and probably for you, divorce is a life tragedy that can leave you feeling vulnerable and dejected. If you find yourself in a marriage heading for divorce, contact the Westlake, Ohio, family law attorneys at Hunt & Cook. Our attorneys are committed to helping divorced or divorcing clients reduce the pain involved in the process and restore dignity to their lives.

Our lawyers offer advice and guidance on some of the difficult issues that often accompany the decision to divorce, including:

• child support calculations
• child custody and child visitation
• spousal support or spousal maintenance (alimony)
• division of marital property and debt
• collaborative law

When you decide that dissolution or divorce is that path you need to take, you should have a sympathetic divorce lawyer to protect your interests and help you get your life back on track. At Hunt & Cook, our lawyers will work closely with you and your family members to reach fair and favorable agreements on support, custody, and property division, while always protecting your rights, interests, and goals.

We also offer exciting new alternatives to divorce litigation, including collaboration, mediation, principled negotiation, arbitration, and facilitated negotiation. The collaborative law approach to divorce is for couples who can commit to the principles of mutual respect and positive results. It generally saves the family, and especially the children, from the pain and stress of contested divorce litigation.

Our attorneys will help you make a fresh start and continue to work with you as your circumstances change, or if you require modification of custody or support agreements.

We also provide advice and representation on a wide range of nondivorce family law matters, such as:

• designing prenuptial agreements
• paternity actions and disputes
• adoption
• guardianships and conservatorships
