Prenuptial Agreements

Domestic Violence Injunctions
At our firm, we take domestic violence issues very seriously. There are injunctions prohibiting acts of domestic violence that are available to protect victims from further acts of domestic violence. We strongly support the goal of zero tolerance of domestic violence.
Child Support
We assist clients in determining the amount of child support that may become due and owing as a result of a divorce or other family law actions. We can also assist with modifications to the child support agreement settled on by both parties or child support order already entered by the court.
Custody and Visitation
We can help with changes in either the custody or visitation rights involved with your children. Our firm can also help modify the terms of custody and visitation that were agreed upon by both parties involved or ordered by the Court.
Paternity Determinations
A lawsuit to determine the legal father of a child is a family law related legal matter. Both the biological mother and the biological father can initiate a lawsuit to establish paternity.
Child Abduction
These cases generally involve efforts to get children back into the arms of a custodial parent after the child has been wrongfully abducted.
Guardianship of Adults and Children
A guardian has legal authority to make personal and financial decisions for a child or incapacitated party, indefinitely. This person is appointed by a court to serve as the guardian of a minor child or an incapacitated person to assure that the essential requirements for the health and safety of the person are met, to manage the estate or financial resources of the person, or both.
