Ruth Scott A Attorney At Law

Too often, people attempt to proceed through a divorce without the advice of an experienced family law attorney. People believe they can save money by handling a divorce themselves or sharing one attorney. I have found that in the end the agreements these folks enter into do not last and they end up spending more time and money down the road than they would have if they had just done it right to begin with.
A divorce will raise difficult issues such as child support, custody and visitation schedules, spousal maintenance, marital property division, outstanding debts, and untangling of finances. These issues must be dealt with, and they will usually be addressed separately, in separate courts in front of different judges. Whether you are anticipating a contested or an uncontested divorce, without the guidance of an experienced divorce lawyer, you can quickly become overwhelmed and lost within the system. I offer knowledge and experience in family law, and I will guide you through the process while always keeping your interests and goals at the forefront. I will work hard to ensure that you are not taken advantage of, and see that you receive the appropriate child custody, visitation, and financial arrangements. You do not have to go through it alone or rely on your spouse's attorney. Let me protect your rights and interests and help you make this transition as smoothly as possible.
If you have already been served with a divorce, support, or especially a custody complaint, it is imperative that you obtain quality representation right away as the time for responding to these complaints will begin to run out.
As a sole practitioner I am able to offer personal attention and quality representation that is cost effective for my clients. I am happy to schedule an initial consultation at a minimal cost to you. At the initial consultation I will provide you with a "blueprint" of the process and let you know what to expect as far as how family law issues are resolved and the time it may take. We will also discuss your particular circumstances and how I can assist you in attaining your goals. We will evaluate the costs of potential child support and/or spousal support; as well examine your situation with regard to the co-mingling of property and finances. Do not leave these important issues to chance. I can help.
I strive to offer my clients a range of services related to the family. In addition to divorce, I also assist clients with estate planning and real estate. Click on my attorney information page and practice areas to learn more about me and about how I can serve you.
