Special Issues in Divorce

Special Issues in Divorce: Allegations of Abuse

In our family law practice, we are unique in our ability to vigorously defend clients who have been accused of physical abuse or sexual abuse. These cases can involve criminal investigations and/or charges. Our ability to handle cases involving sensitive issues is a tremendous benefit to clients involved in a contentious divorce.

Unfortunately, we have seen a surprisingly high number of divorce cases in which a spouse makes a false allegation of physical abuse or child molestation in an attempt to gain an upper hand. If you are getting a divorce and are facing an allegation of child abuse, we encourage you to contact Ellinwood, Francis & Plowman, LLP.

Protecting Your Property Rights and Your Parental Rights

False allegations of physical or sexual abuse are often made in an attempt to gain an advantage in a case in which child custody or visitation is in dispute. Allegations of abuse can also be used as a negotiating tactic to achieve a greater portion of marital property. If you are facing an allegation of abuse, it is critical to contact an attorney who has experience in both family law and criminal defense. Our lawyers have the dedication and experience you need to handle your case with competence and care.

Other Divorce Issues

Due to our attorneys' experience as trial lawyers, we have the ability to negotiate from a position of strength. Our trial experience can provide clients with a decided advantage in contested cases involving complex property division issues, custody disputes, visitation disputes and other contested matters.

Many divorce attorneys do not have significant trial experience. As a result, many divorce attorneys are reluctant to take a case to trial. Although we always explore negotiation as a method of obtaining efficient and amicable results, we never hesitate to take a case to trial if it is necessary to protect the best interests of the people we serve.
