Divorce Law and Dissolution of Marriage
The Salem law firm of Wheeler & Allen represents clients in divorce. I will help you understand your options so you can make decisions which are ultimately in your best interest. By taking an educated approach to your divorce, you can shape a positive future for you and your children.
Many challenging issues can affect your family during a divorce:
- Child custody and parenting time: I can assist you in developing a parenting plan to meet your specific needs. For more information on parenting time, please see our resources page.
- Establishing child support: I will review any proposed child support calculation to ensure it complies with Oregon support guidelines and that it fairly considers all relevant income from both parents.
- Establishing spousal support: I will work with you to determine whether alimony (spousal support) is appropriate and, if so, the amount, type and duration of payments.
- Division of marital property: I will help you equitably divide the debts and assets from your marriage, including real property, personal property, investments, retirement accounts and business property.
I have over 14 years of experience handling all matters related to divorce. Though I have the skill and experience to represent your interests at trial, I will work closely with you to resolve your disputes through mediation or negotiated settlements — whenever possible — so that you can minimize the financial and emotional costs of divorce.
I counsel men and women in all matters arising out of a divorce. I work with individuals at all stages of a family law matter, from making the decision to file through the entry of your judgment and post-divorce modification issues.
