Family Law
Divorce, custody, support, and separation agreements in the Lexington and Richland county family courts.
Family court deals with legal issues arising out of family relationships: divorce, child custody, property division, and support. These are rarely only legal problems, and the process is hard on people at a point in their lives when they have the least patience for it.
The approach here is outcome-focused: identify what actually matters to you, resolve what can be resolved by agreement, and litigate what genuinely needs litigating. Every issue turned into a fight is time and money spent, and clients are advised accordingly.
Barry Bernstein handles these matters personally, and he brings particular experience with cases involving military and veteran families: deployment and custody, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and the division of military retirement benefits.
