See What Type of Cases Our Team Handles

A. Traub & Associates has extensive experience in representing families in cases involving all types of legal issues. We offer personalized service that is customized to meet each client's individual needs.

Family Law Representation

At our law firm, we deal with many different aspects of family law, including:

• Divorce - We help those who are going through a divorce to meet the legal requirements for dissolving their marriage. This can include dealing with problems concerning marital property division, spousal support payments, or issues related to mental illness or addictions. We have the experience necessary to resolve complex issues related to divorces involving high incomes or valuable assets, as well as any post-divorce modifications that may be necessary.
• Child custody - We help parents who are planning to get divorced, as well as unmarried parents who are separating, assisting with issues such as determining legal custody arrangements, parenting time schedules, child support payments, and requesting or objecting to parental relocation.
• Adoption - Not only do we provide representation in domestic and international adoption cases, including step-parent adoptions and foster child adoptions, but we are passionate about helping families in these situations. We understand the complexities that come with each type of adoption, and we will work tirelessly on your behalf to help make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
• Paternity - We help address issues related to a child's legal parentage, which can aid in securing fathers' rights and make sure child support orders are established correctly.
• Domestic Violence - We help victims of domestic violence or abuse ensure the safety of themselves and their children through orders of protection.
• Surrogacy and Egg Donation Agreements - We assist in the creation of legal agreements that safeguard the rights of individuals participating in surrogacy arrangements, including the surrogate mother and the intended parents.
• Pre- and Postnuptial Agreements - For partners who are looking to create a document that will act as a plan for how things will be handled in the event of a divorce, we can provide guidance and ensure that an agreement will be legally enforceable.
• Mediation - We help divorcing couples and families involved in legal disputes resolve their differences as peacefully as possible while keeping matters out of the courtroom.

Assistance With Estate Planning

We help families create estate plans that account for a person's wishes both during their life and after death. Our team can help address matters related to:

• Wills and Trusts - We work with our clients to draft wills and trusts that are customized to each client's personal needs and goals. We also have experience helping clients set up special needs trusts, which can help provide for the needs of someone with developmental disabilities or other impairments.
• Advance Directives - End-of-life care can be a difficult subject to broach, but we can help make things easier for everyone involved by creating powers of attorney or living wills.
• Guardianship - We can help ensure that a minor child or disabled adult has a legal guardian who is legally responsible for their welfare.
• Probate and Estate Administration - We work with executors to make the process of filing a will in probate court and distributing assets much easier. We also help trustees administer trusts and distribute assets to beneficiaries.
• Contested Wills and Disputes Involving Estate Plan Documents - We work to resolve disagreements between loved ones after someone has passed away, and we can provide representation for beneficiaries who are struggling to receive their due inheritance.
