AREAS OF PRACTICE

Family Law & Divorce

Typically, people look for a divorce attorney, but Family Law comprises a much broader range of subjects, such as domestic violence, paternity, visitation, protective orders, child support modification, and discontinuing wage withholding.

Phil Burleson, Jr. heads Lyon Gorsky’s Family Law practice. In addition to representing police officers and their families, Phil can assist you in obtaining a protective order to stop abuse or if you need to avoid the establishment of a temporary restraining order designed solely to keep you from living in your own home and spending time with your own children, contact Phil for an evaluation of the situation.

In divorce and paternity matters, as well as in modification and enforcement cases, Phil will fight to protect your parental rights. He can also represent you in determining the right amount of child support or maintenance for an original order or for assistance with enforcement or modification of existing orders.

Phil provides representation in such matters as:

• Divorce
• Property disputes
• Child support (including Attorney General cases involving child support)
• Child custody
• Paternity
