Divorce

Navigating divorce with children can be complex, and each state has its own terms and procedures for child custody and visitation. Our paralegal service simplifies the process:

Divorce Petition: Child custody and support are integral to your divorce application, kickstarting the legal proceedings.

Emergency Measures: In cases of child endangerment, you can request an immediate hearing and protective orders from the court.

Divorce Agreement: If you have sole custody, it’s included in your divorce settlement, subject to court approval. The court ensures it aligns with your child’s best interests, covering living arrangements, education, and healthcare.

Mediation: Some regions mandate mediation for custody and visitation. A neutral mediator helps you and your spouse reach agreements on parenting plans.

Court Hearings: When mediation isn’t successful, your case proceeds to a court hearing. You present your case, and the judge may consult mental health experts and appoint a guardian ad litem to represent your child’s interests. Multiple hearings might occur before a final custody decision.

Divorce Decree: The judge issues a divorce decree, finalizing custody, visitation, and child support orders.

Appeals and Modifications: If you disagree with the court’s decision, you can explore avenues for appeals. Significant life changes affecting custody or support can be addressed by filing a modification application.

Let our paralegal service guide you through the legal intricacies, making your divorce with children more manageable.
