A certified mediator who can help you arrive at solutions that work

At Guendelsberger, Collins, Henry & Guendelsberger, LLP, our family law practice is led by Rebecca Guendelsberger. An attorney who has a mediation certificate, she works to save clients money and reduce their stress by recommending mediation in instances where it might be appropriate. Using mediation to resolve family law issues allows the parties to participate directly in developing solutions to problems. This is usually preferable to having a judge issue an order that may not be in anybody’s best interests.

Family law matters

We handle all family law matters related to separation and divorce:

• Child custody: This is an issue whether the parents are married or unmarried. A child custody order determines where the child lives and who makes decisions about health, education, religion, and other life issues.
• Visitation/parenting time: We strive to be creative in developing schedules that work.
• Child support: We make sure that all relevant information is included when applying state guidelines to a child support determination.
• Alimony/spousal support: An alimony award is dependent on several factors, including the length of the marriage and the ability of the parties to support themselves.
• Post-judgment modifications: In most cases, when the circumstances of one party change, it is possible to adjust custody and support awards after a divorce is finalized.
• Property division: We make sure all assets are accounted for, including real estate, retirement accounts, bank accounts and business interests.

Seeking results for our clients

Whether matters such as these are settled through mediation or at trial, we work hard to arrive at solutions that work for our client and their children. We use the same dedication to obtaining results when we handle guardianships, adoptions and prenuptial agreements.
