Family Litigation
While settling disputes through ADR is often the best choice to preserve the relationship and avoid a costly emotional and financial drain that often is required through a litigation battle, sometimes litigation is necessary.

International Family Law
As more and more families become a mix of nationalities, cultures, customs, and religions, the complexity of separation and/or divorce becomes that even more complex with the addition of rules governing international family matters amid a mixture of national law, international conventions (including the Hague Convention), and foreign statutes. It is vital that when dealing with international family matters, whether a simple divorce, amendment to a custody agreement, or an international abduction issue, that parties have an attorney who has real experience and training in such matters. Ms. King practices family law (domestic and cross-border), and has taken advance trainings, including U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Institute of Peace training) in connection with Cross Border and International Parental Abduction Prevention Mediation, as well as the handling of Hague Convention cases.
