family properties and household items, exclusive possession of the matrimonial
home and household contents, sale of the parties’ jointly owned properties,
including the sale of the matrimonial home, contempt of court orders, regular
and urgent motions, conferences, trial, appeal and finally, the divorce is
finalized either through a separation agreement or final court order.

marriage contract after your marriage, you should have a family and divorce
lawyer on your side who has experience in family court practice.

options with the family and divorce lawyer, find out whether your family and
