Matrimonial Law and Family Law

At Berman, Bourns, Aaron & Dembo, our matrimonial and family law attorneys have the depth of knowledge and diverse skills necessary to negotiate and, when necessary, to litigate issues related to premarital agreements, separation, divorce, division of marital property, child custody and support, and spousal support. We understand that these cases can be as individual as the people involved, and our experience enables us to offer a variety of approaches, as well as to handle complex family matters.

Whenever possible, we utilize a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach designed to resolve issues such as child custody and property allocation in a sensitive, fair, and insightful manner. Our clients can count on us for proactive representation of their interests. From litigating high asset cases with complicated property evaluations and financial considerations to representing children in a contested divorce to pursuing post-judgment modifications and handling appeals, our solid experience and expertise are brought to bear on each client's case.
