Why Do You Need a Family Law Attorney?

When dealing with family issues, a family law attorney will stand by you and advise you on how you can legally solve your problems. Right now, you need to emphasize your own self-care as well as look after any children or other loved ones who are involved. You don’t have the time or the energy to also take on the legal side of things. A family law attorney will be able to file any necessary paperwork for you, show up in court, and come up with legally binding resolutions to what you’re currently experiencing.

Additionally, your family law attorney will be able to think outside of the box and offer you solutions that you may not have known existed. Since they know the law inside and out, they can get creative and tell you about all of your available options.

If you don’t want to go to court or drag out cases for months or years on end, a family law attorney can offer mediation as a solution and hopefully avoid contentious situations. Above all, they will help you decide what is the best route for you and your family to take from here on out.

An experienced family law attorney will always be sensitive to your needs as well as open about what’s happening with the case. They will be there for you at your most vulnerable time and help you see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Our experienced family law lawyers at Adams Law can assist you with any of the following issues you may be dealing with at the moment.

Divorce

When you first fell in love with your spouse, you believed that your marriage was going to last forever. However, somewhere down the line, things went awry. Or, perhaps you are still committed to your marriage, but your spouse wants to get a divorce. No matter what your situation, we can help you get through your divorce in an efficient manner and ensure you are protected throughout the process.

We can assist with mediation, filing your divorce papers, gathering records of your assets, applying for alimony and child support, looking into your prenup or postnup if you have one, and letting you know the guidelines for your divorce whether you’re in Kentucky or Ohio.

Each state has its own laws for divorce, so you’ll need to follow those laws in order to guarantee your divorce is actually valid. For example, both Kentucky and Ohio are equitable distribution states, where a court decides who gets what in a divorce. This is different from a community property state, where debts and assets are divided 50/50 between the spouses.

Our family law attorneys at Adams Law will explain all the laws to you so that we can get your divorce finalized as soon as possible. We’ll wrap up the divorce proceedings as quickly as we can because we know how emotionally draining this process can be. Then, when your divorce is finalized, you can move on and start to build a new life.

Child Custody

When you have a divorce where children are involved, the situation becomes more complicated. Be that as it may, our family law attorneys and the state family court will always make decisions based on what’s in the best interests of the child. This may mean a variety of solutions, such as one parent has full custody, the parents get joint custody, or one parent gets custody but the other has visitation rights.
