Covering All Areas of Family Law | St. Charles Family Law Lawyer
I can make it easy for you to understand the legal process and your options regarding:
- Divorce: If you are thinking of divorce, I can help you decide whether you can proceed uncontested, benefit from mediation services or need to go to court.
- Post-divorce division of assets: How your money, property and other assets will be distributed is a key component of your divorce. I can provide practical solutions in property and asset division.
- Child custody and support. I can formulate a plan to protect your custody and visitation rights and establish fair child support.
- Spousal maintenance: Spousal maintenance, often called alimony, can be awarded to one party when it is proven that this person cannot adequately support himself or herself without monetary assistance from the other. I can help you get the alimony you deserve.
- Domestic abuse: An order of protection, sometimes referred to as a restraining order, is a court order that is designed to stop violent and harassing behavior and to protect you and your family from an abuser. In addition to helping you seek an order, I can help protect you from a false accusation of abuse.
- Post-divorce modifications: When your personal or financial circumstances change, it is possible that your alimony, child support and child custody and visitation requirements can change with them. I help clients on both sides of the divorce equation to acquire or prevent post-divorce modifications.
- Adoptions and guardianships: Whether you intend to adopt a child or establish a guardianship to protect an incapacitated adult, I can guide you through the complicated legal process.
- Paternity: In short, paternity means fatherhood. Once paternity is established, it determines the future of the child and parents in the areas of visitation, support, medical history, citizenship, government benefits, inheritance rights and custody rights. I can help you establish, or disprove, paternity of a child.
- Mediation: When handled skillfully, a mediation or negotiation can resolve a family law problem quicker and cheaper than a court fight. I negotiate when possible, but fights when necessary.
- Juvenile proceedings: Although it is a small part of my current practice, I do extend my legal services to resolving juvenile matters.
