Nina is absolutely a great attorney
Nina assisted my fiancé recently in a very drawn-out contested divorce involving a minor child. After he spent a large amount with a prior law firm at the beginning of the divorce, he was unceremoniously dropped for staffing changes; it left him without an abundance of hope for the situation. Nina & her paralegal Beth handled his case from day one with absolute diligence & the care I feel they would provide a loved one. Nina is an extremely experienced attorney who is modest in nature, making it easy to communicate with her about any & everything. Her experience is not only clear in the courtroom but also in her relationships inside of our legal community. Her work with custody & GALs greatly assisted us in being well represented as well as fully informed during a hostile process. She helped to get my fiancé not only the best financial outcome but also the best outcome regarding parenting time so that the minor child & father were well represented in this process. I have done a lot of work in the legal field over the years & consider myself pretty good at knowing a great attorney from a mediocre attorney to a bad one. Nina is absolutely a great attorney & one I will recommend to family & friends as well as use for anything we need in the future. If you are looking for fair & above par representation, do not hesitate to make a consultation appointment. You will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of working with Nina Scopetti and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she and her team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. The response time was truly amazing every step of the way.

Nina is amazing! I was going through the worst divorce EVER and I found her. She listened to me and got me everything I wanted and more. I could not say enough nice things about her. If you need a good lawyer she is the best! She is quick to answer and will always show up for you. I appreciate her so much!

Professional, Timely, Empathetic Help
Nina helped with some legal issues in a professional, timely, and empathetic manner. She helped me navigate processes I was not familiar with, educated me along the way, and pointed me in the right direction when additional support was needed.
Matt Horbaly
Nina has been amazing
Nina has been amazing in handling a high-conflict parenting situation. She is very responsive, and is amazing at handling a (sometimes) unresponsive opposing counsel.
Shyam Karunakaran
An Amazing Attorney and Better Person
I cannot say enough good things about Nina! What an amazing attorney and even better person. She represented me in a custody issue and she was always upfront with what to expect and what the outcome would mostly be, and she was 100% correct. I got the feeling very early on that she truly cares about her clients and any kids involved and only wanted what was best for us. Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney! Thank you so much again Nina (and Beth too!)
Brian Fletcher
TREMENDOUS help in my divorce!
Goodness, where do I begin! I previously made a review before about not being able to get into contact with Nina. I had not known that she had fallen ill before I placed the review. But now that she has been back, we have been in contact and she has been a TREMENDOUS help in my divorce. She has been honest and forthcoming. She has been my advocate. She has stood her ground when she needed to. She has been flexible with me. I could not have asked for someone better to help me as we go through this process! Thank you, Nina!
Casey Lippert
Handled with Grace
Nina represented me through a long and stressful divorce with contested child custody and visitation. I am happy with the results. The other party and their attorney were extremely difficult to work with, and she handled everything with grace. The aggressive 'bulldog' approach the other attorney took came off as silly in hearings, especially when Nina was able to correctly recall my child's age and he was not.
Nina was more than fair with the hours she charged me and was very understanding about my budget constraints. She simply cares about her clients, and I am so thankful for her services.

Spousal support is calculated based on several key factors. These include the income and earning potential of each spouse, the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and each spouse's financial needs and obligations. Courts may use guidelines or formulas as starting points, but ultimately, the decision is tailored to the specific circumstances of each case.
What if my spouse refuses to pay?
If a court has ordered spousal support and your spouse refuses to pay, legal action can be taken to enforce the order. This may include wage garnishment, seizing of assets, or legal penalties. Consulting with a family law attorney can provide guidance on the best course of action and help ensure compliance with the court's order.
Is spousal support affected by remarriage?
Yes, spousal support is often terminated if the recipient remarries. This is based on the assumption that the financial needs of the recipient will change with their new marital status. It is important to notify the court of any such changes to ensure compliance with the support order and prevent future legal complications.
Can spousal support be modified?
Yes, spousal support can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This might include changes in income, employment status, or financial needs. Either party can request a modification, but they must provide evidence to support the change. A court will review the evidence to determine if an adjustment to the support order is justified.
