Contested Divorce

The two most frequent issues that arise in a divorce case relate to children and property. The Law Offices of Paul D. Hunt has extensive litigation experience in handling such issues. There can be no legal issue of greater personal impact than children. 

Disputes over child custody require an attorney to have many years of experience in the court system of the District of Columbia to be effective and understand the use of Home Studies, Psychological Evaluations, Bonding Studies, the Office of the Parenting Coordinator, and a myriad of options and courses of action that might be the most appropriate for your case. In the area of property, issues relating to real estate can be the most critical. Experienced and sound advice concerning the law in the District of Columbia regarding the division of real estate, including issues relating to deeds of real estate and valuation is essential to preserve your rights.

Properly addressing a court is critical. Persons without an experienced attorney who improperly address a court run the risk of adversely affecting the outcome of their case.
