• Divorce - A variety of circumstances can make the dissolution of a marriage a complicated and stressful process. Ms. O'Brien is skilled in providing sound legal advice and in aggressively defending the rights of her clients, from mediation to litigation.
• Post-Decree Matters - Major life changes, such as job loss, substance abuse, illness, births, and deaths, can dramatically affect your original divorce decree. In times like these, it may be necessary to modify your initial decree to fit your life as it is now. You may also need to take legal action to enforce the court's orders and ensure that the other party is meeting their obligations.

• Asset Division - Divorcing spouses will need to determine how to divide all of the property they own together, as well as their joint debts. Ms. O'Brien can help negotiate a divorce settlement that will protect your financial interests, including in complex and high asset divorce cases.
• Spousal Support - In some divorce cases, spousal maintenance may be awarded to ensure that both spouses can maintain their standard of living.
