Family Law
Serving in WASHINGTON & IDAHO
At Clark & Feeney, LLP, our knowledge, experience and training in family law are supported by our compassionate approach and ability to adjust our styles to the needs of our clients. We take the time to understand our client’s expectations and goals.
Our lawyers handle a full range of family law matters for clients from complex marital dissolution proceedings to contested child custody matters, including relocation throughout Idaho, Washington, and beyond. We are skilled in litigation, as well as negotiation. Your attorney should not only understand the nuances of the law, but also the nuances of your particular situation
Today, we see a distinct movement away from costly Contested Divorce Proceedings settled very publicly before a judge, to Collaborative Divorce Settlements, arrived at through mediation and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes. ADR provides an option for those who prefer to stay out of the courtroom and many potential advantages, including: reduced cost, faster resolution, less emotional stress, and the ability to construct solutions that are unique to your specific situation.
In divorce, and child custody cases in particular, the adversarial process has increased tensions between the parties. These tensions may not abate even when the process is complete. Non-adversarial alternatives, such as mandatory mediation, can save time and money and preserve relationships to the extent possible.
