Legal Help With a Variety of Family Law Matters
We can provide representation to address multiple types of legal issues, including:
- Divorce - We can help you understand the steps you will need to follow during the divorce process, and we can provide representation in both contested and uncontested divorce cases.
- Spousal support - While financial support paid by one party to the other, which may also be known as spousal maintenance or alimony, will not be a factor in every divorce case, there are certain situations where it may be appropriate. We can provide representation for those who are seeking spousal support or those who are being asked to pay support to their spouse.
- Community property division - We can help spouses understand their rights regarding both community property and separate property, and we can assist with matters related to the division of complex property, including retirement plans, real estate, and family-owned businesses.
- Military divorce - Members of the military and their spouses may encounter complications during the divorce process. We can help determine how divorce-related matters will be handled during a person's military deployment, and we can ensure that military benefits will be addressed correctly in divorce cases.
- Child custody - We work with divorcing or unmarried parents to determine how conservatorship and possession of their children will be handled. We can assist with matters related to visitation enforcement, long-distance visitation, and parental relocation. We can also help parents determine how to handle any child custody modifications that may be necessary.
- Fathers' rights - We provide representation for fathers in child custody cases, ensuring that their parental rights will be protected and that they will be able to maintain strong relationships with their children.
- Grandparents' rights - In certain situations, grandparents may be able to petition for visitation rights that will allow them to maintain close relationships with their grandchildren. We can help grandparents determine their options and provide representation during these legal proceedings.
- Child support - When child support orders are created during a divorce or child custody case, financial obligations may be established for a non-custodial parent, and parents may also be required to share medical and educational expenses for their children. In addition to helping establish child support orders, we can assist with child support enforcement and collection of past-due support.
- Paternity - If parents are unmarried, legal paternity may need to be established to protect a father's parental rights and a child's right to receive child support. In addition to helping establish paternity, we can help parents determine how to proceed in cases involving mistaken paternity.
- Adoption - We can assist with multiple types of domestic adoption cases, including stepparent adoptions and private adoptions.
- Court-ordered mediation - When spouses, parents, or other family members are required to use mediation to attempt to resolve family law disputes, we can serve as neutral mediators, or we can provide representation to ensure that the decisions made will be legally sound.
- LGBT family law - Same-sex couples or parents have many of the same rights as those in "traditional" opposite-sex relationships, but they may need to address some unique issues or take additional steps to protect themselves. We can help LGBTQ families address issues related to marriage, divorce, adoption, child custody, and more.
