Divorce
Trying to predict how things will progress in a divorce case is a fool's game. Be very skeptical as you shop for lawyers if you find one that promises an exact outcome.
One reason why it's impossible to predict the path of a divorce is because divorce means different things to different people. For some, it is a highly charged emotional event that comes unexpectedly and seems to threaten everything. For others, it is nothing more than a necessary legal step that must be taken in order to move on with life. Our experience tells us that people often shift from one end of this spectrum to the other during this difficult process.
No matter where you are on that spectrum, The Nice Law Firm offers you experienced, capable counsel that will work diligently to effectuate your desired outcome. Working with an honest, understanding divorce attorney can make all the difference.
But we also recognize that honesty and understanding are merely the starting points for the attorney - client relationship. That is why at The Nice Law Firm our attorneys bring solid, aggressive litigation experience to the divorce table, as well as a keen ability to seek alternative dispute resolution when the situation calls for it.
No two divorces are exactly alike. Contact us today to get a free professional assessment of your individual legal needs. We can help.

Father's Rights - Grandparent's Rights - Guardianships
Father's Rights
Times and trends are changing. Fathers are more frequently becoming the residential parent in child custody matters. It is important that fathers understand the rights they have regarding their children.
Although perceptions are changing, stereotypes still exist. Judges may look at a father as the breadwinner and a mother as the nurturing caretaker. This bias may favor granting custody to a child's mother.
As your legal representatives, we present your case, showing you are just as involved in your child's life as his or her mother. We work to show the court it is in the best interest of both you and your children to continue your relationship.
At The Nice Law Firm, we stand behind fathers that are interested in seeking residential custody of their children and being a solid and constant influence in their children's lives. We also handle child support matters that may involve a mother paying support to a father that has residential custody over the children in the case.
The fathers' rights attorneys at our firm are committed to helping our clients understand the law and seek the custody and support arrangements to which they are entitled. Though our firm does advocate for fathers' rights when necessary, we provide thorough and aggressive representation to parents, both men and women, who are seeking a resolution of their family law case. Contact us for more information on the services we offer.
Grandparent's Rights
Having a relationship with their grandparents is an important part of a child's upbringing. Whenever possible, the lawyers at The Nice Law Firm encourage parents to make their children available and work with the grandparents to arrange visitation schedules. Unfortunately, some grandparents must engage in a legal battle in order to see their grandchildren. Especially in this time of war, the death of a soldier may necessitate a grandparent pursuing legal rights to visit their grandchild.
Our firm is able to assess the situation and determine whether or not the grandparents are entitled to visitation rights. We strive to make decisions that are in the best interests of the children while keeping our clients' goals in mind.
Since this is a complex area of the law, you need an attorney that is able to effectively interpret and explain the laws that govern grandparent's rights. Our firm prides itself on understanding visitation laws as they apply to grandparents.
In addition to handling cases involving grandparents, we also represent other family members, such as siblings, aunts, and uncles, in gaining visitation whenever possible.
Guardianship
By giving guardianship to someone other than a parent, the court is giving legal authority to a responsible individual that can act in the best interests of the child. In instances where a parent or parents are in a difficult situation and unable to properly care for their child, there are legal ways in which we may pursue a guardianship over the child. Contact The Nice Law Firm today if you think a guardianship may be a legal necessity in your family's life.
