Few legal matters carry higher stakes than those involving your marriage, your children, and the wealth you have built. When a business, executive compensation, or significant assets are part of the picture, a family law matter becomes a financial matter as well. The family law attorneys at Kaufman & Hilbert PC bring decades of combined experience to divorce, custody, support, and marital agreements, with every matter handled by experienced attorneys rather than passed down a chain of associates. We approach each engagement with the discretion, judgment, and steady counsel that executives, business owners, and professionals expect.
Family law varies from state to state, but the fundamentals of sound representation do not: clear strategy, careful preparation, and honest assessment. We guide clients through:
When marital property includes a closely held business, professional practice, stock options, or deferred compensation, valuation and characterization questions often determine the outcome. As a full-service firm with deep business-law experience, we understand how companies are valued and how to scrutinize — or defend — the numbers. We protect what you have built while pursuing a resolution that lets you move forward.
Custody decisions shape your family for years. We help parents develop workable parenting plans, advocate for arrangements serving their children’s interests, and handle contested matters with firmness and restraint. Where relocation, demanding travel schedules, or blended families add complexity, we build practical solutions around the realities of your life.
A well-drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is a planning tool, not a prediction of failure. We prepare agreements addressing business interests, inherited wealth, and future earnings, drafted to hold up when it matters. When circumstances change, we pursue and defend modifications, enforce orders, and use mediation to resolve disputes privately, on terms the parties control.
Our family law clients include executives, business owners, professionals, and their families — people whose personal matters intersect with companies, compensation plans, and meaningful assets. Whether your matter is amicable or contested, local or spanning multiple states, we provide the same senior-led attention and discretion throughout.

Often, yes. Even cooperative divorces involve binding decisions about property, support, and children. Experienced counsel helps you understand your rights, avoid drafting errors, and finalize a durable agreement.
A business interest is typically valued and then divided, offset, or allocated as part of the overall settlement. The approach varies by state, which is why valuation methodology and experienced advocacy matter.
Generally, courts enforce marital agreements that are properly drafted, fairly negotiated, and supported by full financial disclosure. Requirements differ by state, so careful preparation — ideally well before the wedding — is essential.
In most jurisdictions, yes, when circumstances change significantly — a relocation, a job change, or a child's evolving needs. We help clients pursue and defend modification requests.
