Divorce/Family Law

To see just how successful our approach is, here are some representative results:

Confidential Dissolution Matter

September, 2017
Charges: Divorce involving children

Nasty, insult-filled breakup, inclusive of domestic assault charges (resolved by Mr. Gempeler with a stay of adjudication on disorderly conduct, nicely done!), began a year-long tussle to divide a young family. Mr. Adkins achieved exceptional results for a mom putting together a new home, restarting a great career, returning to complete a college degree, etc. Mediation employed effectively, and strategic decisions on property-split are bearing fruit as the opposing party fails to keep his promises.

Confidential CHIPs Matter

August, 2017
Charges: CHIPs case - allegations involve excessive punishment

After ensuring her children were returned immediately after the intervention of Children Protective Services in this matter, where a child was punished arguably in a felony manner by a third party, this mom successfully navigated the State's often maze-like process to confirm custody and proper parenting, in short order and with high praise from the participants. North Star routinely handles these mixed family-court/criminal matters, and our results are unmatched. We combine early and thoughtful intervention with constant contact and a long and inclusive list of preferred therapeutic providers to achieve outstanding results. Visit with us immediately if you are in these straits--the sooner you stop the bleeding, the sooner you get to recover and move on as a family.

B.W. and V.F.

August, 2017
Charges: Child Custody/Contempt case - Family law matter

Mediation scheduled over opposing party's objection, and contempt citation completely avoided notwithstanding pretty aggressive conduct on the part of our client. Getting North Star involved in your child custody matter early is key, but any time is the right time to get the sort of exhaustive and comprehensive assistance that we provide, particularly when the welfare of your offspring is at issue. Fantastic result, and the subsequent mediation session was only icing on a well-created cake.
