What is...

Umbrella Transp.png

child custody

Child Custody and Visitation determines which parent will have physical custody, and who will have legal custody. Only on some occasions do the parents come to an agreement on joint physical custody.

child support orders

Child Support is the mandatory payment that the non-custodial parent pays to the child's custodian to meet the child's needs. the amount paid is based upon a formula requiring a larger percentage of the payor's income depending upon the number of children

law guardianship

In child custody cases, one of the things the judge normally does is to appoint a law guardian who will represent the child and find out what is best. However, they will not always come to the right conclusion about what should happen, so it can be a very difficult situation.

paternity

When two unmarried people have a child, it is
necessary for the courts to determine who is the actual father of the child. Sometimes
this can be achieved with a fairly straightforward document; other times it becomes
more involved.

Adoption

It is the legal procedure by which a court will grant an adult who is not the natural parent of a minor child permanent custody of the child for his or her full care. Custody may be given in a new marriage or to the children of a previous marriage.

orders of protection

They are designed to protect people in a family or intimate relationship from hurting each other. To obtain this order, it is necessary to prove the crime. There is a list of what the government considers a crime. There are two different types of protective orders and they will depend on the type of action that is being sought.

changing orders

It is possible to change protective orders, child support, custody and visitation, neglect orders and agreements, such as a divorce settlement. There must be a change of circumstances for it to be modified, and in each case it depends on the circumstances.
