Practice Areas and Services
The firm manages a wide spectrum of family law matters, with a particular emphasis on cases involving significant assets or conflict:
Divorce & Separation: Handles both uncontested and contested divorces, as well as complex ‘fault-based’ and ‘no-fault’ grounds for dissolution.
Asset Protection: Specializes in business owners and divorce, high-net-worth property division, and the equitable distribution of retirement accounts and investment portfolios.
Child-Related Matters: Focuses on ‘parental rights and responsibilities’ (Maine’s term for custody), child support, relocation laws, and parental alienation cases.
Mediation & Alternatives: Encourages divorce mediation as a primary tool to reduce stress, preserve privacy, and lower legal costs compared to traditional litigation.
Firm Experience & Leadership
Expert Advocacy: Led by William T. Bly, a top-rated attorney with over 20 years of experience in Maine family law.
