Family Law

At the Deaton Law Firm, we understand how frustrating the breakup of a marriage can be. Couples do not begin their marriage with a goal of divorce.  Despite the dreams of newlyweds, divorce can become an inevitable consequence of a broken relationship.

How We Help With Your Family Law Matters

Our team is empathetic to the upheaval that comes with the end of a marriage.  We understand your concerns about the impact it may have on your children, your financial future, and your extended family.

– Attorney Ruth A. Hughes-Deaton
