Restraining and Protective Orders from Family Violence
In rare instances, domestic disputes turn violent and a person’s physical and mental welfare are at risk. We are committed in assisting our clients in seeking such petitions for protection from the courts from such harm and danger. We can seek a temporary protective order to restrain the offending party from committing any future acts of violence, harassment, interference or harm. We can also temporarily seek that you be granted from the courts the exclusive use or possession of the family residence, the custody of your minor children and the awarding of financial support from the other party.
Modification of Custody and Support
Under certain circumstances, you may be allowed to modify or change an existing court order dealing with custody and financial support of a minor child or yourself. The financial support can be changed to a smaller or larger amount depending on the circumstances. The courts look at if there was any substantial change in income or financial status of either party. If there is a material change of a condition that substantially affects the interests and welfare of a minor child and if the proposed changes are in the best interests of such minor child, then the custody of that minor child may be changed by the courts. Let us help you in your pursuit in modifying any existing order regarding custody and support.
Legitimation and Paternity
Issues may arise when a child is born to parents who are no legally married. We have the experience to represent the mothers or fathers in this particular situation. We can seek on behalf of either parent the custody or visitation of such child through a legitimation proceeding. Additionally, we may assist you in obtaining financial support for the child from the other parent.
Adoption
The area of adoption has many hurdles to jump through, but our experienced team can guide you through this maze in creating your family. Every adoption matter is unique as the family that seeks to adopt. We have the knowledge and understanding to assist you in this momentous occasion.
