Is a simpler, less-complicated, and cost-effective way to handle your divorce without a lawyer. If you and your spouse are on friendly terms, or can at least negotiate how to split up your property and handle issues related to your children, then you can pursue an “uncontested divorce.”
Child Support
An order to show cause is often filed in cases where one party needs relief from a situation — the order, for instance, may be used to force someone to pay child support. The order may also be used to prevent a party from a certain activity, such as harassment — a judge may even add a temporary restraining order to the show cause order.
Child Custody and Visitation
If you and your spouse need to start leading separate lives, but you aren’t ready or willing to consider a full divorce, then a legal separation may be a good choice for you. A legal separation is similar to a divorce; it is used to resolve issues like financial responsibilities, child custody and support, living arrangements, the division of your property, and establishes the rights of you and your spouse. Legal separation, however...
Adoption
Paternity
Paternity is the legal recognition of a man’s biological relationship as the father of a child. If a non-married couple has a child, establishing paternity can be crucial for determining the rights and responsibilities of both parents. A paternity claim is a petition that can be submitted to the court by either the mother or the father of the child.
Premarital Agreement
A Prenup spells out what’s considered separate property of the bride- and groom-to-be. It needs to be signed by both parties at least 7 days before marriage. Additionally, a 7-day review period needs to happen after the presentation of the final draft to the parties. We offer the option to consult separately with two attorneys who will explain the content of the Prenup, and issue letters acknowledging the consultations.
Guardianship
A Guardianship Letter is a tool to allow someone other than a biological parent to care for a minor for a short or undetermined amount of time.
Spousal Support
A notice of motion is a request submitted to the court that asks for a change or modification to be made to an existing court order. In cases of divorce, for instance, a notice of motion will often be filed by a parent or guardian seeking to change the terms of child support, child custody, or visitation rights. A notice of motion may also be filed to ask the court to change the terms of spousal support or to set aside a default judgment.
Legal Separation
A Legal Separation differs from a divorce in that you’ll still be married to your spouse; only, you won’t be financially responsible for the
An order to show cause may also be used in cases of contempt or probation violations, or to set a date for a trial. An order to show cause is typically used in circumstances where time is a factor. If you are involved in a lawsuit, you are required to give the other party an opportunity to respond.
Death is a part of life, and proper estate planning is critical for giving yourself piece of mind and ensuring the security of your legacy. Preparing a will is a legal way to express how you want your real estate, personal property, and other assets to be distributed after you die. When you prepare a will you can make important decisions such as naming the person who will be responsible for administering your estate and carrying out your final wishes (known as your “executor” or “personal representative”).
Wills
No one enjoys probate, which can be an extremely time-consuming and expensive process that will be taking place at a time when your loved ones will want to focus on dealing with their loss, not struggling with a mountain of legal issues. Probate includes notifying the court of your passing, submitting your last will and testament if you have one, and an inventory and appraisal of your estate. It can greatly delay the distribution of your property and in some cases include court fees that are
Trusts
“Had I known it was so easy, I would have done it a long time ago!” That’s what a lot of our customers tell us after signing their Living Trust. There is no need to come up with a long list of all assets and accounts you own. Just fill out the questionnaire, and tell us who the beneficiaries are, who you trust to be the successor trustee (i.e. the person in charge of – one day – distributing the estate), any special requests or wishes that you may have, and we’ll take it from there.
Power of Attorney
Do you travel a lot? Do you need your spouse or a family member to take care of some business or personal matter while you are away? A financial Power of Attorney can help you! Is a loved one no longer able to take care of financial matters promptly? You can help – by being appointed his or her agent in a general power of attorney.
