At the same time, when aggressive representation is called for, divorce lawyer Frank J. Prainito has the knowledge of the law and experienced representation that can mean a great deal to the outcome of your case. We are trained, and are assisted by professionals, in areas of market valuation concerning the many categories of property, which may include real estate, business, investment accounts, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, and contracts. We will determine whether alimony, child support, and other concerns need to be considered. We will apply our resources and talent toward a conclusion that is in your best interest.

Children are always our primary concern. Issues include assuring the children receive adequate financial support, family time with each parent, and a stable home. There is no set rule as to which parent must be the primary care giver. The courts consider both mother and father in this role. The courts do not reject either the mother or the father in this role without consideration. It is important that you meet with a lawyer before working out an agreement or participate in mediation on your own. At our first interview, we can give you an accurate assessment of what your support obligations may be.

We believe parents should be informed of their rights concerning custody and child support. In some cases, one or both parents are planning a move out of the area, or out of the state; a modification of their custody and visiting rights may be necessary.

If necessary, we are prepared to advocate on your behalf in court.

We will aggressively represent and advocate for our clients seeking restraining orders. Do not hesitate to contact us for a consultation. We respond immediately to urgent situations. Domestic violence and neglect are crimes.

In addition to these issues, we handle alimony (spousal support), modification of child & spousal support, adoption, paternity (for the purpose of proving parentage), and prenuptial agreements.
