PROPERTY DIVISION AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Arthur and Florence decided to call it quits after over 50 years of marriage. During the course of their marriage, a good deal of assets were accumulated. Despite bitter feelings, attorney Morse was able to navigate a course for Arthur to retain the greatest portion of his assets, while at the same time providing for Florence to live comfortably.
CHILD SUPPORT
Robin spent years chasing after her ex-husband in order to get him to meet his child support obligations. Prior to engaging attorney Morse, her ex-husband managed to dodge his obligations. Shortly after attorney Morse began representing Robin, the tide turned. Finally faced with severe sanctions for noncompliance, Robin's ex-husband paid his significant child support arrearage, and has since been in full compliance with his child support obligations.
DIVORCE, PROPERTY DIVISION, SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND CHILD SUPPORT
Gina, a native of Italy, married a U.S. serviceman and moved to the United States. When her husband left her and her two children for another woman, Gina was prepared to throw in the towel, and settle simply for child support payments. After engaging attorney Morse she was able to obtain her equitable division of the real estate held in her ex-husband's name, a portion of his military pension, and an equitable interest in all the bank accounts and assets, in addition to child and spousal support.
MILITARY DIVORCE, PROPERTY DIVISION AND CHILD CUSTODY
Alice was an Air Force officer stationed in Germany. Distance and changing values drove her and her spouse apart. The couple had a young child and needed creative solutions to develop a workable custody and visitation plan. Alice also had a house, which she owned before her marriage, and a military pension that she would need in the future. Attorney Morse was able to work through all these issues in a manner particularly satisfying to the client.
SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND PROPERTY DIVISION
After 27 years of marriage, Claudia and Stefan decided to call it quits. Stefan promised that Claudia would not get a dime of his pension or any part of the marital home, or the couple's largest marital assets. During the divorce, Stefan hid assets, made extraordinary disallowed purchases for his personal benefit, and did everything he could to make good on his promise. Despite his attempts to divest Claudia of an equal share of the marital assets, attorney Morse secured an allowance for spousal support in addition to an equal share of the marital estate, the pension and credits to Claudia's share for the items transferred by Stefan.
PROPERTY DIVISION AND CHILD SUPPORT
Jeaninne and Aaron had property and real estate that each obtained after they got married. They also had a child together. Aaron refused to properly support the child after divorce. After a contentious battle, in addition to child support, attorney Morse secured for Jeaninne, he also got Aaron to agree to a contribution for private school and extracurricular activity expenses. Jeaninne kept her property and received a 50 percent share of Aaron's property to make up for the period of time he neglected to pay child support.
