Practice Areas

Aggressive Representation in Court and Mediation

At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., in Portland, Oregon, our lawyers focus on the following areas of our family law practice:

• Divorce & Dissolution of Marriage - We encourage our clients to make rational decisions when they are involved in highly emotional, divorce-related matters.
• Mediation - At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., we encourage mediation for the sake of our clients and their children.
• Settlements Before Litigation - Fair resolutions can be found before a courtroom appearance.
• Complex & High Net Worth Divorces - With experience in big cases and an attorney with an economics background, we will not turn away complex divorce cases.
• Father's & Mother's Rights - While our founder, Ronald Johnston, helped draft father's rights legislation, we equally protect the rights of mothers as well.

Experience guides us. Resolve drives us. Contact us at (503) 946-5373.

• Grandparents & Extended Family Rights - While the current laws involving persons other than a child's biological parents present challenges, we do represent extended family members looking out for the best interests of children.
• Child Support - We use child support calculations as a starting point. Each child and parent has individual needs and we will address all of them in determining support.
• Spousal Support & Alimony - Money issues can turn a cooperative divorce into a war. Let us resolve these contentious alimony matters in mediation or litigation.
• Custody & Parenting Time - Parents agreeing on custody and parenting time can facilitate long-term, positive relationships within a family.
• Interstate Custody - Custody issues can become complicated with parents in different states. We bring experience in this specific area and a thorough knowledge of the law.
• International Custody, Enforcement & Discovery - Our experience at the federal level allows us to handle international custody cases involving the Hague Convention.
• Parenting Coordination & Attorney Representing Children - Your child may need legal representation if you and your spouse cannot agree on the outstanding issues.
• Child Relocations - The relocation of your child to another state or country can be an emotional time when you need an aggressive legal advocate on your side to protect your rights.
• Modifications of Custody, Child Support & Spousal Support - Revisiting a divorce decree years later is commonly needed as circumstances change over time. A handshake agreement with your ex-spouse will not suffice.
