Our Team Has Your Back

You’re not alone. We have assembled a highly skilled team of compassionate advocates who are the best at what they do. It is our collective mission to empower you to be the author of your next chapter with clarity and hope.

Our Areas of Focus

We provide expert legal counsel and support across a spectrum of family law matters, tailored to meet the unique needs of professionals and parents navigating complex transitions and challenges.

  • Divorce – We handle all types of divorce, including high-net-worth cases, business ownership, and complex property division. Whether it’s identifying hidden assets or negotiating long-term support arrangements, we provide strategic representation to protect your interests and set you up for long-term security.
  • Child Custody & Support – Your children’s well-being is our priority. We help parents build parenting plans that support healthy co-parenting and fair child support arrangements, reflecting both your child’s needs and your financial reality.
  • Collaborative Divorce – For those seeking to end their marriage respectfully, privately, and with as little conflict as possible, we offer a proven alternative to courtroom litigation. Members of our team are specially trained in collaborative law, helping you craft creative, customized solutions through a structured, dignified process outside of the courtroom.
  • Prenups & Postnups – Whether you’re preparing to marry or adjusting financial agreements mid-marriage, we help couples create legally sound premarital and postmarital agreements that protect personal and business assets, reduce future conflict, and clarify expectations.
  • Mediation – We guide clients through mediation to help them resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation often leads to faster, more cost-effective, and more amicable resolutions—especially when children or significant assets are involved.
  • Post-Divorce Modifications – Life changes, and your divorce Decree should reflect that. Whether you’re dealing with a relocation, change in income, or evolving needs of your children, we help you seek fair and appropriate modifications to custody, visitation, or support Orders so your agreements remain workable over time.

Soo C.

{acf_testimonials_user_location}

Divorce a very difficult and emotional decision for anyone to make, but finding the right
legal support was probably the most important decision I made other than taking that
step forward to end my marriage. Finding that legal support can be challenging – asking
around discretely for recommendations, meeting with them and then choosing someone
can be overwhelming. What I found with Jennifer Hargrave and the Hargrave Family
was a team with my best interests at heart. Thank you Jennifer for helping me become
the best, empowered me! My family and I thank you.

Allison B.

Divorce is very scary, as I’m sure most legal matters probably are, but when you are
going through the process and still having to deal with the other person involved, it can
be a daunting experience. Hargrave Family Law recognizes that going through divorce
is extremely stressful and they are ready to help guide you through it. If you are looking
for an attorney who not only has the qualifications, but also actually listens and cares
about you as an individual, then I highly recommend Hargrave Family Law.

incredible team!

“Jennifer was a beacon of hope for my family member at a time when her options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor not just to my relative, but to her wider family circle. And though it may seem trivial, she has such a great sense of humor. Sometimes you need that to get through a difficult situation. I will always feel grateful for the way she so professionally managed to obtain the end result we were all hoping for. I can truly recommend her without hesitation. And if you have a loved one needing counsel, realize there is hope. Contact Jennifer Hargrave. She will fight for you to the end.”
