Creative Strategies That Work for Your Family

Our attorneys provide comprehensive family law representation tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're seeking a divorce or an enforcement of a child support order, or you want to adopt your spouse's child, we're dedicated to doing what's best for you. Common family law cases involve such issues as:

Dissolution of marriage — The process of filing and obtaining a divorce varies, depending on your circumstances. Contested divorces take longer than uncontested divorces and usually involve increased litigation and higher costs. Military divorces involve special requirements based on where you or your spouse is stationed. As your divorce attorneys, we stay by your side through each stage of your divorce.

Child custody and visitation—Courts always consider a child's best interests when deciding the terms of child custody. Custody and visitation orders vary depending on each parent's living situation and the child's educational needs. In the event of one party's relocation following a divorce, the court may modify the terms of custody and visitation.

Child support —In addition to the everyday costs of raising children, the court may also order post-minority support beyond the age of majority to cover the costs of attending college or a child's disability.

Alabama law provides that child support may extend past the age of majority for disabled children to cover the additional costs related to raising children with mental and physical disabilities. Courts also consider how a child's disability will limit his or her ability to support and care for himself or herself.

Spousal support — In certain situations, the court may determine that one spouse is entitled to monetary support as compensation for the financial hardships that follow a divorce. Alimony may be ordered for a specified period or continue until a specified event occurs.

Division of assets — During divorce, if you and your spouse cannot agree on dividing marital property, the court may determine an appropriate settlement. Separate property remains distinct from jointly held or acquired property.

Prenuptial agreements allow parties to plan for the future and ensure that each understands the financial ramifications of divorce. We help clients draft, execute, and enforce pre and postnuptial agreements.

Post-divorce modifications — A final divorce decree can be modified if either party faces a significant change in circumstances. Post-decree modifications can change the terms of your settlement and may also be used to enforce existing court orders.

Stepparent adoptions —Our attorneys regularly assist clients with the unique issues associated with adopting your spouse's children from a prior relationship. The biological parent must receive adequate notice of the adoption and an opportunity to object.

Family law cases can be emotionally and financially taxing. Our attorneys are committed to helping your family through every challenge you face. Visit our Family Law FAQs page for more information about our services and family law in Alabama.
