Each client’s case is as unique as the individuals involved. Attorney Renee C. Bauer, LLC strives to offer effective, attentive and aggressive representation. The practice represents clients in the following types of legal matters:

Divorce +
Divorce is a legal matter brimming with emotion and often times is compared to the emotions one would experience grieving a loved one.

Custody & Visitation +
When children are involved, the issue of custody is often a highly emotional source of contention.

Child Support +
Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent for purposes of making a financial contribution to the child’s needs.

Spousal Support/Alimony +
There is no law that states alimony will always be ordered when a couple divorces.

Marital Property Division +
Connecticut is not a community property state. That means that each spouse will generally be awarded the property they brought with them into the marriage.

Modification of Support & Custody +
It’s only natural for peoples’ lives to change after a divorce. Whether you were awarded custody of your children or are interested in obtaining it, identifying the legal options available to you is essential.

Fathers' Rights +
It is undeniable that children need their fathers, as well as their mothers. Connecticut child custody laws are written in a way that is gender-neutral.

Domestic Violence Issues +
Fighting the crime of domestic violence starts with taking appropriate legal action to remove an abuser from a household and prevent access to it.

Relocation Issues +
Relocation raises significant child custody and visitation (or parenting time) issues, especially if the relocation is out of state. If one parent is contemplating moving out of state, both parents should consider consulting with a family law attorney.

Mediation +
In mediation, parties reach a mutual resolution. While you probably won’t get all of what you want, neither will the other person. The point is for both of you to have ownership of the process, and in doing so, come up with an agreement you can both live with comfortably.

Post Judgment +
If either party violates a court order following the resolution of your initial case, the other party may return to court and request that the violating party be held in contempt and/or ordered to comply with the court order.
