Divorce
Guardianship
Annulment
We successfully negotiated resolution of involuntary conservatorship proceeding against our client’s husband in Connecticut and an annulment action in Vermont brought by the husband’s adult children from his first marriage, alleging that their father lacked the capacity to marry our client. Resolution allowed our client to remain married and live financially secure with her husband without interference from his children while still maintaining good relationships with the husband’s children and grandchildren from his first marriage.
