Compassionate Falmouth, Massachusetts, Family Lawyer

Family law disputes revolve around the personal relationships we develop over the course of our lives. As relationships change and evolve, interpersonal conflicts can arise that affect our overall health and well-being. Family law attorney Kathy Pett Ryman has the invaluable experience and training to understand the psychological affects of a divorce, as well as the highly-emotional decisions involved in child custody or child support matters.

Just as important, she is well-versed in the legal ramifications of these serious, life-altering events. With her unique perspective, she can truly counsel her clients through a challenging family law issue.

• Division of marital property: In divorce proceedings, the couple’s assets, including the home, retirement accounts, savings and other personal property, as well as debts, must be divided equitably. Your financial future must be protected.
• Post decree modification:  Sometimes the parties to a divorce, or their children, experience a significant change in circumstances that necessitates a modification of an original agreement about such matters as alimony, child support, or child custody.
• Stepparent adoptions: Through this legal process, your parenting relationship with your step-children can be formalized and protected.
• Domestic abuse survivor issues: Some family law situations involve the additional trauma of abuse. Family law attorney Kathy Pett Ryman has extensive experience representing clients involved in an abusive relationship.
• Paternity: Establishing paternity secures the right of a child to support and of a father to parental privileges.
