Divorce

Whether contested or uncontested, divorce presents complex financial and personal issues. Let us help you. Adam Taylor and Amber Hinkle can help you with all matters within a divorce, including spousal support, child custody, and equitable distribution.

Child Custody

Child custody is complicated. We know the intricacies of custody proceedings, and we can help you obtain primary or sole custodial rights for your child.  We offer practical guidance when you are worried about how to devise a parenting plan that will best suit the individual needs of your family.

Alimony and Spousal Support

Several factors influence the award of alimony, which is also known as spousal support. The relative financial positions of you and your spouse are a large factor. Fault is another. You can expect to hear complex arguments mixing law and fact, and these arguments can be extremely difficult to navigate alone.

Guardianship

Sometimes, biological parents aren’t capable or willing to care for their children. In this case, it’s important to transfer legal custody of these children to a third party, such as an extended family member. This can empower the “guardian” to make school and medical decisions for the child. In most cases, it’s also necessary to transfer any benefits that the child might be receiving to the proper caretaker.
