Family Law

Albuquerque, New Mexico, Divorce Lawyers

To every one of our family law clients, we pledge the full scope of our talents and resources. The Jaffe Law Firm is dedicated to addressing and resolving the concerns of each client we are privileged to assist, whether the concern is divorce, adoption, or another family law matter. Attorney Elena Spielman is a recognized Specialist in Family Law by the New Mexico Board of Legal Specialization. Our firm has the knowledge and experience needed to provide effective legal representation in any divorce proceeding from the simplest to the most complex.

While divorce and all the aspects of marriage dissolution and separation represent a large part of our practice, we also serve clients with additional family law issues in Albuquerque. Our divorce and family law services include:

Divorce Issues - Our firm can handle all aspects of the divorce process, as well as the issues that arise in the legal separation process. We can help with child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support or alimony, property division, and marital asset division. For sound legal advice as you consider divorce, or for more information about determining child custody or child support, contact us.

Adoption - If your family wishes to adopt a child from New Mexico or out of state, or if you wish to adopt your grandchild or stepchild, our lawyers can walk you through the process. We can handle local adoptions, international adoptions, stepparent adoptions, and grandparent adoptions.

Premarital Agreements - We help couples who are getting married who wish to protect their assets and property in the event of a divorce. Our attorneys can help draft premarital agreements, as well as review agreements that are drafted by your future spouse's lawyer. We can help you protect your rights as you get married.

Paternity - If you need assistance in proving the identity of your child's father, or proving that you are the father of your child, our firm can help you legally establish parenthood. Our work in these cases can help fathers prove paternity to gain visitation or custody rights to their children, and can help mothers establish paternity in order to collect child support.

When you are getting married, facing a divorce, or hoping to adopt a child, we know how to represent your best interests and protect your rights. For more information about our family law and divorce practice, contact us by e-mail or call us toll-free at (877) 675-2333.
