Family Law
Individuals often decide to establish marital agreements at different stages of their relationship—before marriage (prenups), after marriage (postnups), or during a divorce (separation agreements). These agreements serve as legally binding contracts between spouses, allowing them to define how shared assets will be managed, establish potential spousal support, and clarify retirement benefits in the event of a future divorce. A knowledgeable family law attorney in our offices can assist in drafting a marital agreement that safeguards a spouse’s property rights and ensures they maintain control over their financial interests should the marriage dissolve.
Custody
Child custody and care are among the most significant issues in family law. Every child has the fundamental right to a safe and stable home, and family courts are responsible for upholding this right in all cases. Custody disputes can arise at any time. When a divorcing couple shares a child, their legal proceedings must also address custody arrangements and child support. Additionally, either parent may request a modification of an existing custody order if they experience a substantial and material change in circumstances. If the original custody agreement was mutually decided, the change must also be unforeseen. Family courts also oversee adoption cases, and having legal guidance can simplify the process of
expanding a family. An experienced family law attorney can assist parents in navigating the legal complexities of child custody, support, and adoption matters.
