  • Domestic violence - Whether related to divorce proceedings or as an independent matter, we handle domestic violence issues and protective orders.
  • Post-judgment modification and enforcement - When a problem or concern arises after a divorce has been finalized, Cacace, Tusch & Santagata can work with you to bring about the change or the enforcement you desire.
  • Paternity disputes - Our firm handles paternity proceedings on behalf of fathers and mothers. Determining the paternity of a child can affect child support, visitation and child custody. We can answer any questions you may have regarding a paternity test, DNA testing and other issues.
