Divorce Representation with Dignity and Strategy
Ending a marriage is never easy, but with the right legal team, the process can be manageable and even empowering. At Merino Family Law, we help Norwalk clients approach divorce with a personalized plan that balances your emotional well-being and legal objectives. Whether you’re dealing with an uncontested divorce or a more complex situation involving property, spousal support, or parental responsibilities, our firm provides practical solutions and skilled advocacy every step of the way.
We handle all aspects of divorce proceedings, including temporary orders, financial disclosures, negotiation of settlement agreements, and representation in court when needed.
Child Custody and Parenting Solutions
Child custody matters can be deeply emotional, and we understand how important it is to protect your relationship with your children. Our firm assists Norwalk parents in developing parenting plans that prioritize the child’s best interests while respecting both parents’ roles. We help negotiate and establish custody and visitation arrangements that are clear, workable, and enforceable.
We also assist with child support calculations, enforcement, and modifications. Whether you are pursuing an initial order or seeking changes due to a shift in income or living arrangements, we provide thorough guidance tailored to Connecticut law.
Handling Complex Marital Estates
Many Norwalk residents have significant assets or own family-run businesses that require careful handling during a divorce. We bring extensive experience to the valuation and division of complex marital estates. Our firm works with trusted financial professionals when needed to uncover and assess all relevant assets, including investment portfolios, real estate holdings, retirement accounts, and business interests.
Our goal is to ensure a fair and equitable division of property while preserving the financial future you’ve worked hard to build.
Legal Agreements to Secure Your Future
Marriage is both a personal and legal partnership. We help Norwalk clients create prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that address asset protection, inheritance rights, and expectations for financial responsibilities. These agreements can provide peace of mind and avoid future disputes by setting clear terms in advance. Each agreement we draft is carefully tailored to the unique needs and priorities of the individuals involved.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
If you’re facing domestic abuse or threats, Merino Family Law takes swift legal action to secure protective orders and ensure your safety. We work with Norwalk clients to pursue the legal protections available to them and to navigate related custody or divorce matters with care and urgency.
