Family Matters Handled with
Care and Understanding

Divorce, custody and estate planning

Life’s most difficult decisions involve our family, whether it relates to our spouse, our children, our partner, our parents, or our own future plans.

Because these matters are so personal and often highly emotional, it helps to have experienced counsel who knows the legal system. With guidance, you can resolve legal issues in a way that minimizes the emotional stress for you and your family without compromising legal results.

The law firm of Nichols, Sacks, Slank, Sendelbach & Buiteweg has helped families resolve legal issues related to:

• Divorce and post-divorce
• Child custody
• Child support and spousal support
• Separation
• Financial disputes between couples
• Parent/teen issues
• Guardianship and estate planning
• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
• Family-owned or closely held businesses

We listen and explain your options.
When it comes to your divorce, you know what outcome you want to achieve. Our job is to educate, counsel, and advise. We will thoroughly explain the different dispute resolution methods to help you decide how your case will be resolved, whether through mediation, collaboration, arbitration, attorney-negotiated settlement, or litigation.

Along the way, we protect your interests in negotiating separation agreements and parenting plans. We offer practical advice on how to minimize legal fees, gather the required financial and personal information, and use your preferred strategy to reach a settlement.

Put your mind at ease.
After an initial consultation, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the legal process and how you want to proceed.
