Family Law Matters We Handle
We can represent clients in a wide range of family law matters, including:
- Child Custody Matters: These types of matters involve where the children are going to live and how their time is to be spent with their parents. Child custody litigation occurs when the parents cannot agree on issues pertaining to the health, education, and welfare of the children or when they cannot agree on a parenting schedule.
- Divorce: When you are married and one or both partners wishes to terminate the marriage. The divorce process can involve a division of assets and debts, and issues relating to child custody, child support, and spousal support.
- Marital Agreements: Prior to or after getting married, you and your partner can enter into an agreement as to how your property is divided in case you find yourself getting divorced.
- Paternity: When you have children with another person who is not your spouse. In this case, the Court has the power to issue child custody and child support orders.
- Relocation/Move Away Cases: These have the potential to get ugly. They usually occur when one of the parents has or wants to move with the children far enough away where contact between the children and the other parent is severely affected.
- Spousal Support/Alimony: Where one party asks the Court to order the other party to support them financially, either temporarily or long term.
At JAW LEGAL we are also able to assist clients with:
- Adoption
- Annulment
- Child Support
- Domestic Violence
- Guardianships
- Paternity
- Property Division
- Separation
- TROs (Temporary Restraining Orders)
- And other issues
Cases involving divorce, child custody, child support, and other family law issues can be very difficult for clients emotionally. Clients often need more than just quality legal care—they need an attorney who will listen, be responsive, and provide peace of mind.
Whether you want to resolve your family law matter amicably through mediation or you are forced to take a contentious issue to court, JAW LEGAL is prepared to stand up for your rights while providing the guidance and support you need during this tough time.
Providing Highly Customized Assistance
Every family law case is unique, and paternity issues, high assets, hidden assets, third-party intervention, and child issues can increase the complexity of your particular circumstances. Therefore, after careful evaluation, we adopt a customized approach for each case we accept. Our family law attorney is dedicated to providing solutions that are not just innovative but tailored to reflect the specific needs of the individuals we represent. We encourage collaboration or mediation in order to resolve differences between opposing parties. However, if litigation is the only viable option, we will serve as your staunch advocates in court.
