COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES

No two marriages are the same. A spouse's mental health and struggles with addiction will impact each divorce differently. Gill Family Law can help you understand your rights and protections to help families dealing with complex issues such as mental health and substance abuse, or even a combination of the two. Our firm understands the sensitivities of these cases, and how to advocate for the best outcomes for children and families. We represent our clients while maintaining dignity and privacy, and encourage intervention for addicted parties to address those issues head on. These cases require a formulation of legal strategy that provides peace of mind, and a tenacity for what is best for the parties involved.

Balancing the needs of families with a party’s right to HIPAA protections often becomes a key issue when there are issues of substance abuse or mental illness. We represent either side of the equation.

Our attorneys can take the specifics of your case and create a strategy that is best for you and your children. And in instances involving mental illness or substance abuse, the court may assign a guardian ad litem to minor children to protect their interests in a divorce.
