Warner Partner Richard Roane was interviewed for an article on rising divorce rates throughout the pandemic. The National Law Review revealed that the U.S. divorce rate has increased by 34% by April of this year. Roane said there are traditionally peaks and valleys in divorce cases throughout the year, but has noticed approximately a 20% increase in calls for legal services about divorce, consultation about divorce, custody matters and prenuptial agreements.

He specializes in divorce, non-marital domestic relationships, LGBT family issues, domestic relations mediation, arbitration and collaborative law, spousal support, child custody and support, complex business valuation distribution, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and all aspects of international family law.
