When navigating the complexities of family law, no two cases are exactly the same — and no one solution fits all. At DeSantis Family Law, we offer a wide range of legal services designed to meet you where you are and guide you through life’s most challenging transitions with experience, compassion, and strategy.
From full legal representation to behind-the-scenes coaching, our services are customized to fit the unique needs of each client, their family, and their goals.
Full Representation: Strong Advocacy When You Need It Most
Some family law cases — especially those involving child custody, high-conflict divorce, or complicated asset division — can’t be settled outside of court. In these situations, you need a legal team that is both relentless in the courtroom and compassionate in the conference room.
At DeSantis Family Law, we provide full representation for clients who need end-to-end legal support. We fight hard to protect your interests, advocate for your children, and help you make informed decisions every step of the way.
Limited Scope Representation: A Collaborative Approach
Legal services don’t have to be all-or-nothing. With Limited Scope Representation, you can share the responsibilities of your case with us. You handle the fact-gathering, organization, and straightforward tasks — and we step in to assist with the complex legal issues, document drafting, and courtroom strategy.
This approach is cost-effective, empowering, and ideal for clients who want to stay involved while still benefiting from legal guidance where it matters most.
Child Advocacy: Because Children Deserve a Voice
We are proud to serve as advocates for children in the family law system. In Kentucky, our team can be privately retained to act as:
- Guardian ad Litem
- Friend of Court
- Minor Child Direct Representation
- Special Education Advocate
Whether a child is navigating a custody battle, experiencing special needs challenges, or requires legal support in a school or family setting, we are passionate about standing up for their rights and ensuring their voices are heard.
Second Opinions: Get the Confidence You Deserve
Choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. That’s why we encourage potential clients to consult with other firms before making their final choice.
We also offer second opinion consultations for those already working with another lawyer, especially in high-conflict or confusing situations. If you feel uncertain about your current strategy, we can help you evaluate your options and determine whether a new direction is needed.
Legal and Divorce Coaching: Your Secret Weapon
You may not need — or want — full legal representation. In some cases, you simply need guidance and a strategy.
Our legal and divorce coaching service allows you to stay in the driver’s seat while having an experienced attorney in your corner. Think of us as your "on-call lawyer" — or as we like to say, your “secret weapon.”
Whether you’re negotiating with a spouse, representing yourself in court, or planning for a major decision, we’ll be there behind the scenes to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered.
Mediation: A Peaceful Path Forward
Litigation isn’t the only way to resolve conflict. In fact, mediation can often lead to better outcomes — especially for families who want to preserve relationships and avoid the emotional toll of a courtroom battle.
As trained mediators, we help both parties communicate clearly, identify key concerns, and reach cooperative resolutions that serve everyone’s long-term interests. It’s a calmer, faster, and more cost-effective approach to resolving family law disputes.
Services for Lawyers: Partnering for Better Outcomes
DeSantis Family Law is proud to partner with other legal professionals — including estate planners, civil attorneys, family lawyers, and criminal defense attorneys — to provide specialized support in complex family law cases.
We offer assistance in:
- Case strategy
- Co-counseling
- Parenting coordination
- Collaborative Divorce Family Specialist services
- Special Needs Child Divorce Consulting
If you’re a legal professional seeking strategic support in a family law case, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate.
