Family Law Flagship Practice

Family law & divorce

Steady, discreet counsel through divorce, custody, and support — with a fair resolution and a fresh financial beginning as the goal.

Family matters call for a lawyer who is both steady and discreet. Most people arrive at this office in the middle of the hardest year of their life, and what they need first is not a strategy — it is a straight answer about where they stand and what happens next.

You will work directly with Jonathan Green from the first call to the final order. Nothing is handed to an associate, nothing is routed through a call center, and the person who knows your file is the person who answers the phone.

  • Child custody & parenting time
  • Child & spousal support

How we work together

  1. TalkA free, confidential call. You describe the situation; you get an honest read on your options — including the option of not hiring a lawyer at all.
  2. PlanA clear path forward, with the likely cost laid out before any work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
  3. ResolveNegotiation and settlement where that serves you, and firm representation in court where it does not.

Common questions

Will my divorce have to go to court?
Many do not. Where both sides can reach agreement, a settlement is usually faster, cheaper, and far less painful than a contested trial. Where agreement is not possible — or where one side is not dealing fairly — the courtroom is there, and we are prepared to use it.
How is custody actually decided in North Dakota?
Courts in North Dakota decide parenting responsibility according to the best interests of the child, weighing a list of factors set out in state law. What that means in your case depends on your facts, which is exactly what the first consultation is for.
