Parenting (Custody) Evaluators/Guardian Ad Litems
If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement regarding a parenting plan, most courts will order a parenting plan evaluation performed by a parenting evaluator or guardian ad litem prior to trial. The choice of evaluator is crucial to a fair, unbiased report.
At Weintraub Law Office, we carefully vet potential proposed evaluators for bias, professional reputation, conflict of interest, and prior business and personal relationships with the opposing attorney and party.
Vocational Assessments
When a spouse is unemployed or allegedly voluntarily underemployed, vocational assessments are used to evaluate a person’s current and/or future employment capabilities and wage earnings range.
Real Estate Appraisers
We work with experienced real estate appraisers to determine the fair market value of your property.

Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (“QDRO’s)
A qualified domestic relations order, commonly referred to as a “QDRO”, is a special type of court order that transfers pension plan benefits and retirements accounts from one spouse to the other as part of a divorce or legal separation. To help keep fees down, Weintraub Law Office frequently uses trusted, affordable QDRO experts to prepare those documents.
