Experienced Advocacy Every Step of the Way
Our attorneys in Huntsville are committed to guiding you through each stage of your case. We know legal matters can be overwhelming, and we strive to offer clear guidance and unwavering support, whether your case involves personal injury or other civil matters.
Divorce and Division of Property
The division of marital assets is often one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. In Alabama, marital property is divided equitably, meaning it is shared fairly rather than equally. High-asset divorces and those involving business ownership can complicate this process, making experienced legal representation essential to protect your financial future.
Child Custody and Visitation
Ensuring your children’s well-being is often the primary concern during a divorce. Custody arrangements typically designate one parent as the primary custodial parent while establishing a visitation schedule for the other. Legal custody, which refers to decision-making rights over education, medical care, and religious upbringing, is usually shared between parents. Our attorneys work to help you secure a custody arrangement that prioritizes your children’s best interests while maintaining your parental rights.
Child Support
Alabama law expects both parents to contribute to their children’s financial upbringing. Typically, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent. Our attorneys can guide you through the process to ensure that child support is calculated fairly and adequately reflects your children’s needs.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Spousal support aims to minimize financial disparities that may arise post-divorce. The court may award alimony based on factors like the length of the marriage, one spouse’s sacrifice of career opportunities, and the current and future earning capacities of each party. We can help you understand whether spousal support may be applicable in your situation and advocate for a fair arrangement.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts designed to outline asset division and financial responsibilities in the event of a divorce. Prenups are created before marriage, while postnuptial agreements are established after. Although these agreements cannot pre-determine child custody or support, they offer a clearer financial picture, providing peace of mind and fostering a stronger marital foundation. Our attorneys can guide you in drafting agreements that reflect your specific needs and protect your interests.
Modifications to Child Custody and Support
As life evolves, so do your children’s needs and your parenting responsibilities. If significant changes in circumstances arise, such as job relocations or changes in your children’s requirements, you may seek modifications to custody or support arrangements. Our team will help you navigate the legal process to demonstrate that a proposed modification aligns with your children’s best interests.
