In certain situations, grandparents may seek custody or visitation rights, especially if it is in the best interests of the child. Courts will consider the child’s relationship with the grandparents, the parents’ wishes, and other factors when making a decision.
Child support is typically calculated based on state guidelines, which consider both parents’ income, the child’s needs, and the amount of time the child spends with each parent. Other factors, such as healthcare, education, and special needs, may also be taken into account.
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can help protect your assets and clarify financial obligations in case of divorce. It can address issues like property division and spousal support. These agreements are especially useful for individuals with significant assets or business interests.
Property division in a divorce depends on whether you live in a community property or equitable distribution state. In community property states, marital property is divided equally, while in equitable distribution states, the court divides property in a way that is deemed fair, though not necessarily equal.
We handle various family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), property division, domestic violence, adoption, prenuptial agreements, and postnuptial agreements.
Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. Courts consider factors such as each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s physical and emotional needs, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the child’s preferences if they are old enough.
A legal separation allows spouses to live separately while remaining legally married. Divorce, on the other hand, ends the marriage. Both processes can address issues like child custody, support, and property division, but only divorce dissolves the marriage.
Spousal support is determined by several factors, including the length of the marriage, the financial resources of each spouse, each spouse’s earning capacity, and the standard of living established during the marriage. The goal is to ensure that both spouses can maintain financial stability post-divorce.
The duration of the divorce process varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether both parties agree on key issues like child custody, support, and property division. An uncontested divorce can be finalized in a few months, while contested cases may take longer.
As a parent, you have the right to be involved in decisions regarding your child’s upbringing, including education, healthcare, and religion. Courts typically encourage shared custody arrangements unless there are concerns regarding a parent’s ability to provide a safe environment for the child.
Yes, child support and custody agreements can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or changes in the child’s needs. A court must approve these modifications.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, seek immediate safety by contacting law enforcement. You may also be eligible for a restraining order or protective order to keep the abuser away from you and your children. A family law attorney can help you navigate the legal process and secure protection.
