“I handle all of our family law matters in this firm. I can take any kind of family law case. It can be a divorce. It can be a post-divorce situation where someone is fighting over custody of a child or maybe one parent has moved out of state and the other parent wants to change the parenting agreement. It can be a legitimation case where if I was trying to get rights to a child that was born out of wedlock and anything in between. We do adoptions. We do name changes. Anything that a family might need, we can do.
Sometimes family law cases do arise out of criminal law cases. A temporary protective order could be issued in a case where there’s domestic violence and the couple decides to split and it leads to a divorce. That happens actually a good bit. Our judges usually will, if they do grant a temporary protective order, they typically will give an admonishment that they expect the divorce to, if they are going to separate and the order is going to stay in place, they expect the divorce to follow pretty quickly. They don’t want the parent to use a protective order as a basically a bargaining chip with the child and try to use it to get benefits or an advantage over the other parent. Domestic violence, which can be a criminal charge, can lead to a temporary protective order, which is quasi-criminal, then it leads to a divorce. We can help with all steps and all stages of that process.”
