Portland, Oregon, Divorce Lawyer
At our Portland law office, we represent approximately equal numbers of men and women in divorce matters. During an initial consultation of approximately one hour, our attorney, Suzanne J. Noland, explains exactly what to expect in the divorce proceedings and how the process is handled at our law office. Our family law attorney also lets clients know that she will represent their best interests and those of their children. We advise clients that all transactions with the spouse and opposing attorney will be conducted in an ethical manner. For more information about our attorney’s approach to divorce matters, contact our Portland, Oregon, law office.
We Make Sure Everyone Is Safe
During the initial consultation, we also determine whether immediate action is necessary. If needed, we will refer clients, and their children, to family therapy sessions. If there is drug abuse or other criminal activity in the home, we make sure that you and the children are out of harm’s way and well cared for. If there is a history of domestic violence, we file restraining orders against the abusive spouse so that the process can move forward in safety.
Our Attorney Handles All Levels of Divorce, from Simple to Complex
A divorce proceeding can be simple if both parties are in agreement. However, divorce can be lengthy and contentious. Our attorney is prepared to do whatever is necessary to represent your best interests in all the disputes that can arise in a divorce. We help divorcing spouses resolve problems related to:
- Property division
- Alimony / spousal support, including transitional and rehabilitative support
- Buy-outs of spousal support / spousal maintenance
- Post-nuptial agreements
Creative, Not Adversarial
In addition to handling the divorce itself, we help clients with custody and visitation, child support, and modifications of initial orders. We work to develop creative and ethical solutions that stand the test of time. Both people in the divorce appreciate our attorney’s efforts to present creative win-win solutions that seek to resolve the issues efficiently rather than destroy the other spouse. In fact, we receive referrals from clients’ ex-spouses who state that our attorney not only did excellent work for her client, but whose creative solutions benefited the spouse.
If you are thinking about a divorce, or if your spouse has served you with papers, contact a sympathetic and ethical divorce lawyer with more than 30 years of experience. Call Attorney Suzanne J. Noland in Portland, Oregon, to learn how we can help.
