Child Custody & Divorce Law in Hawaii
At the Law Practice of Jackie Kong in Honolulu, our attorneys seek to negotiate, and when necessary, litigate favorable settlements for divorce and child custody disputes. We know that divorce can be very painful, and can cause a great deal of stress. We believe that a settlement-based approach can lessen the stress involved, lessen any animosity that may surface, and result in a much more cooperative arrangement that best serves the divorcing parents and the children.
Our Hawaii divorce law firm seeks to negotiate favorable settlements for the following:
When you are facing the dissolution of a marriage, the best result is one that lets you redefine your relationship with the minimum of emotional distress. Divorce is a life-altering event, and often the hostility that accompanies a divorce gets in the way of a rational, equitable settlement. We believe that the parties are best served by working together, through their divorce lawyers, to negotiate the physical custody (where the child will live) and legal custody (who will make the decisions) of the children, the division of property, assets, and debts, and financial arrangements for child support and spousal maintenance.
Hawaii Divorce Law
In those cases where a settlement cannot be reached, the attorneys at the Law Practice of Jackie Kong will act immediate to maintain the stability of your life: to secure temporary custody, child support, alimony, use of assets and payment of debts. Our Hawaii divorce lawyers have been litigating divorce and child custody disputes for over a decade, and will aggressively and effectively represent you in court if required to reach a fair and equitable settlement.
A collaborative divorce is an alternative to a “traditional” divorce. In a collaborative divorce, each party and their lawyers sign a binding agreement to settle out of court. With the help of attorneys, financial planners, life coaches, and therapists, the parties can reach compromises without the added time, expense, and stress of a divorce through a court.
