Child Support
The law in Alabama requires parents to provide for the financial support of their child or children, regardless of the marital status of the parent. The amount of child support that a noncustodial parent must pay is determined by the application of the Alabama Child Support Guidelines. When issuing an order for child support in either a divorce case or child custody case, the court will require that each parent submit an income affidavit which will be factored into the determination of the child support amount.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody disputes can be one of the most stressful and painful times that parents and children will go through in their lives. If you are going through a child custody dispute or if you believe that a child custody dispute is imminent, it is crucial that you contact an experienced attorney to guide you through the process and adequately protect your interests.

Proper estate planning is crucial if you are concerned about how your property will be distributed when you pass away.

Estate planning involves decisions that you make now and decisions that you make regarding your assets when you pass away. Our attorneys will discuss your particular desires with you and will work with you to ensure that your wishes are fully carried out.
Wills
Whether or not the decedent died with a will or Last Will and Testament determines whether Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary will be issued. The letters grant the person who receives them the authority to administer the estate. Once Letters have been obtained, the personal representative is required to give actual notice to known or reasonably ascertainable creditors and give publication notice to all others. Our attorneys will do this for you.
Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney document allows you to appoint another person, known as your agent, to make decisions concerning your financial affairs and assets while you are living. You may allow your agent to make decisions now, or you may allow your agent to make decisions only upon a determination that your are no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
Foreclosure is the process by which a mortgagee, or lender, takes ownership and possession of the real estate that was used as collateral for the mortgage (such as through home foreclosure). The same process applies to individuals or entities known as vendors, who convey property but retain a vendor’s lien in the deed for the property until the purchase price plus interest is paid in full. In Alabama, most mortgage instruments give the mortgagee, or vendor, the right to “call due” the entire balance of the loan if you fall behind on just one payment.
