Family Law

Family law encompasses many aspects of family relationships from adoptions, domestic violence, guardianships, juvenile matters and prenuptial agreements to divorce and the many issues surrounding a divorce such as child custody, child support, visitation and modification of court orders.

A divorce can be one of the most traumatic and stressful of life’s unexpected events. When you are involved in divorce, an experienced family law attorney can help guide you at a time when you feel you are least able to cope with important decisions.

At Bassey and Selesko our attorneys are uniquely prepared to assist you with all aspects of your divorce, including both economic and tax issues.

Property to be divided in a divorce may include a wide variety of assets, including a home, other real estate, IRAs, pensions, stock portfolios, 401(k)s, jewelry, art or other collections and cash. Any debt, such as mortgages and other loans will also be divided.

When a divorce involves complex finances or a closely held business, our business attorneys, some of whom are also CPAs, collaborate with our experienced litigation staff concerning financial and tax ramifications. Similarly, our attorneys provide legal services when disputes arise after the divorce judgment has been entered.

Our attorneys advise clients in other areas of family law, such as the appointment of a guardian or conservator for a minor, for any other person who is no longer able to handle his or her financial affairs.
