Our Family Law Services:

Divorce

Sometimes divorce seems to be the best option to move forward in life. Getting divorced can be a hardship on all family members. When all who are involved are in agreement, or feel they can come to an agreement, the Legal Center can help to document the specific details, complete and process all the needed court filings for your situation, work through and complete the Marriage Settlement Agreement and any other forms or motions that may be needed for your specific case.

Marriage dissolutions do not need to be  complicated but they need to follow a very specific legal process. We will work with you to ensure that nothing is missed and your desired outcome is reached.

Paternity

Paternity is the legal relationship between a child and their biological father. Paternity law deals with the rights and obligations of both the biological father and the child. A child’s paternity may be relevant in relation to issues of legitimacy, inheritance and rights to a putative father’s title or surname, as well as the biological father’s rights to custody and obligations for child support.

A paternity action may be needed to establish and protect the rights of your child born outside of marriage or your current marriage, concerning child support, custody, visitation and even medical expenses. Divorce Self help Legal Center can help you with all needed documentation and court filings. Don’t put this important child’s right off or go it alone.

Name Change

It is possible to change your name. Of course, there is legal process to do this. A legally sanctioned name change generally refers to the legal act by a person of adopting a name different from their name at birth, marriage or adoption. The procedures and ease of a name change are embedded in Family Law and can be processed through the court system.

Contact Divorce Self Help Legal Center today for an appointment and we can assist you to legally complete this action.

Child Custody

The parents rights and obligations are crucial to a child’s well being. The Court recognizes this and wants what’s best for All parties involved. Child custody, or parenting schedule, is the legal and practical relationship between a parent and their child, such as the duty to care for the child. Legal custody is often shared between the parents so the major decision here is determining which parent will have physical custody of the children and how much parent-time should be given to the other, noncustodial parent.

Our office can provide you with assistance in all areas of the child custody legal requirements, including document preparation, court filing of the documents starting with your hearing dates and all through the process.

Child Support

The financial obligations of the child is another key element to the child’s wellbeing. Child support is an ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit of their child. When a level of child support is agreed by both parents it is important that the agreement is properly documented in the marriage dissolution within the Marriage Settlement Agreement and proper court documents.

Divorce Self Help Legal Center will assist you with all the required documentation, complete, and file them with the court. Anything in this area not resolved by mutual agreement invites the court in to adjudicate. You can keep control of these items with strong, well documented agreements filed with the courts.
