Child Support
If you are the custodial parent, you no doubt deserve a child support payment from your spouse. If you are the noncustodial parent, you have a duty to make this payment in full and on time.
Child Custody
Most parents’ biggest concern is the custody of their child – our attorneys can help you seek custody during and following a divorce.
Alimony/Spousal Support
Finally dependent spouses in a marriage are usually entitled to spousal support when the marriage is terminated.
Adoption
If you are trying to adopt a child or stepchild, we want to help you and your new family member avoid as many legal hurdles as possible.
Fathers’ Rights
As a biological father of your child, you have rights, and the child’s mother cannot take the child away from you without a court order.
Property Division
Division of property is one of the most contested issues during divorce, and property that you believe you are entitled to may be up for division.
Grandparents; Rights
When a divorce occurs, grandparents may still retain the right to visitation of their grandchild, even if their own child is not the custodial parent.
Modification to Support/Custody Agreements
We understand that things happen – if you experience a major change in your life, we will help you to apply for a petition for modification of a court order.
Domestic Violence Protection Orders
If you or someone in your home is in danger, please contact us immediately for assistance in seeking a protection order.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A prenuptial/postnuptial agreement helps to ensure that your future is protected in the event of separation.
