Family Law

Family Law Attorney Serving Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Virginia

The lawyer you hire to represent you in a family law matter should understand that your case is not only about concluding your marital relationship.  Divorce and other family law matters are primarily about helping you get things right for your new future. At the Olekanma A. Ekekwe, P.C. Law Offices in Washington, D.C., we do more than simply file divorce papers and fight for property. We take the time to work closely with you to discover what is most important for you and your family. How do you want a child custody arrangement to look? What is important to you about your financial settlement? How will pension and estate planning affect your future after divorce?

We help you get your future right

You have a right to expect more than just simple answers. We promise to work closely with you throughout your entire family law case. Since we opened our doors in 2002, we have earned a reputation among our clients for providing responsive communication and attention to the smallest details that will help you move into your future with confidence that you made the right decisions. At every point of decision in your case, we will clearly explain your options and the impact of selecting those options. We will expect you to work closely with us and be forthcoming and realistic about your expectations. After all, it is your future, and we work hard to make sure it is right for your family.

QDROs and Divorce Asset Protection

Drafting a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that is right for your financial needs and future is not something that should be left to an inexperienced person. The right QDRO proposal often makes the difference between reaching an agreement that will be acceptable and permanent, or drawing your spouse into a protracted fight that might resurface in the future. We have experience and resources to determine the accurate value of your marital property, including the future value of pensions, securities accounts, and other long-term investments that you are counting on for retirement.

We do not let you sell your future short. Contact us to schedule a consultation about your divorce settlement needs. Let us start working toward a better future for you and your family. We serve clients in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding communities, including Rockville, Bethesda, Arlington, and Alexandria.
