Doing Family Law Differently
No two families are alike, and our approach to family law reflects that – it’s why we offer customizable solutions. We take the time to listen to your story and fully understand your objectives so that we can craft strategies specifically tailored to your family’s needs and goals.
While our attorneys are skilled litigators, our family law services are not limited to courtroom representation. We can also advocate for you in negotiations and alternative dispute resolution methods (including mediation and collaborative divorce). No matter the nature of the specific legal process or conflict we are assisting you with, we can explain your rights, options, and potential paths forward in clear, understandable terms.
In addition to helping families navigate divorce (including issues of child custody, child support, and spousal support), we provide several other important family law services. We are prepared to assist you with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, surrogacy, assisted reproduction methods, and more. Our team can also assist with the valuation of complex matters of property division, including business interests.

“Lauren is a fantastic communicator and deeply cares about her clients, their children and family. My prior attorney retired but was ineffective and expensive. Lauren took over and lead with integrity, quickly helping us to resolve and close the case. I would highly recommend Lauren and the team at Batley Family Law.”- Chelsea S.
