Divorce/Dissolution
Divorce or dissolution is emotionally painful, complicated and exhausting. Most people desire to go through the process quickly and with minimal difficulty in order to have a fresh start. Discussing your situation with an attorney will help you understand your options and the possible ways to protect your interests.
Custody
As situations change you may find it necessary to address or readdress custody issues with your child(ren). It is important to keep the child's best interest and safety in mind when making these decisions. An attorney can help guide and support you through the child custody process.
Guardianship
When a person is too young to make decisions, is incapacitated, or can not make decisions for their own interests, the court can appoint someone to make legal or welfare decisions for the person. An attorney can help you understand the differences between power of attorney and guardianship. In addition, an attorney can help with documentation once a guardian is appointed and any other legal requirements.
