Our domestic relations attorney, Jay Cranmer Esq., understands that family matters are highly sensitive and emotional. Whether legal issues involve dissolution of marriage, child support, maintenance (alimony), division of property, custody (parental responsibility), grandparents rights or parenting time (visitation), Jay believes strongly in taking every opportunity to resolve cases through negotiation before resorting to formal litigation. By seeking a solution through open discussion and compromise, the need for costly litigation with its common sibling, emotional frustration, is avoided. However, in instances where communication breaks down or resolution is not otherwise possible, he will aggressively represent your goals.

Mr. Cranmer takes this "negotiation first" approach in all family law matters. Whether drafting prenuptial agreements, resolving common law marriage disputes, or representing spouses in traditional dissolution proceedings or in post-dissolution matters, Mr. Cranmer focuses on quality legal services in as cost efficient a fashion as circumstances allow.

While the law of domestic relations has its own challenges, Mr. Cranmer understands that what can make domestic relations more challenging than any other field of law is the emotional crisis often experienced in a dissolution of marriage action. Understanding the impact of divorce on not only spouses, but the children is what separates domestic relations lawyers. It is important to understand the emotional impact of divorce, yet it should not be understated that the financial and economic impacts are often just as great. Balancing these competing realities of domestic relations is what separates Mr. Cranmer from other attorneys.
