Divorce & Post-Decree Relief

Honolulu Divorce and Property Division Lawyer

At the Law Offices of Scot Stuart Brower in Honolulu, Hawaii, we handle divorce cases for couples living in Hawaii and those where only the husband or wife resides in our state. We have the ability to facilitate no-fault divorces involving overseas and mainland spouses and the experience to aggressively defend your rights.

In a divorce, there are specific issues that obviously need to be resolved. Those issues include custody and support, visitation, alimony, property and debt division, and post-decree motions.

The goal with alimony is to ensure that the lifestyle a married couple enjoys will continue after the marriage is ended. Alimony is determined based on income and expenses of both spouses and, as opposed to child support, there is no set formula. At the Law Offices of Scot Stuart Brower, we will assist with negotiating the proper amount or taking the issue to court if necessary.

Dividing up assets and finances without the benefit of a prenuptial agreement can be complicated. Divorce law mandates that property brought into the marriage that subsequently appreciates is split equally between a couple unless a prenuptial agreement provides otherwise.

The finalization of a divorce does not necessarily mean that your need for legal representation has ended. As issues arise and situations change, you may need a lawyer to help you with modifications and other post-decree issues. Clients often do. A spouse may move, remarry, or refuse outright to pay support. In any of those cases, we will seek modifications as needed and pursue contempt charges if warranted.
