ADVANTAGE OF WORKING WITH DANIELS LAW, LLC
The overviews below provide further insight into the legal services I provide so that my clients are able to get to know and trust me. If you are dealing with a legal issue in one of these areas of law, or if you have questions about your circumstances, I encourage you to contact my office. I can provide the support you need during this difficult time and help you get on the right track.
DELEGATING A FAIR DIVORCE SETTLEMENT
If you seek to dissolve your marriage—or you are on the other end of a contested divorce initiated by your spouse—then you need to make sure that these matters are addressed in a manner that protects both your own interests and rights, as well as those of your children. Having legal representation during a contested or uncontested divorce is usually the best way to see that this happens easily and efficiently.
In a contested divorce in which only one spouse wants the divorce, or when disagreement over the terms of a settlement makes compromise impossible, the family law attorney’s role is to help you get the most equitable settlement possible under the law. If you have questions about uncontested divorce, or contested divorce in the State of Alabama, it is best that you speak to me for the right kind of information and assistance.
DIVISION OF PROPERTY
The court may choose to favor one spouse over the other if circumstances warrant such action. Assets that may be fair game for division during a divorce include retirement accounts, life insurance policies, real estate property, small businesses, bank accounts, and vehicles. Daniels Law, LLC can offer you more information about how courts make decisions on matters of property division, and teach you what you can do to see that you don't come out on the losing end of any divorce settlement where your assets are concerned.
CHILD SUPPORT AND CUSTODY
However, legal precedent may also play a role in how courts rule in child support matters. A dedicated family law attorney can be key when it comes to seeing that a support order fairly reflects the needs of the child and the ability of each parent to contribute financially to the cost of the child's upbringing. It's not unheard of for parents to act in bad faith and try to shirk their financial obligations by misrepresenting their income or other variables, and having a family law lawyer on your side during a child support dispute can make it much harder for them to do so.
Alabama courts prefer to award joint legal and physical custody whenever possible. This means that both parents are expected to work together in making decisions about where a child goes to school, receives medical care, and obtains religious instruction. It also means that the child spends time with each parent regularly, although not necessarily the same amount of time. In the event that other circumstances apply—as when one parent is a domestic abuser or a drug user—or when one of the parents involved is otherwise unwilling or unable to participate in a joint custody arrangement, the court may award legal and/or physical custody solely to one parent instead.
There are several factors that the courts consider when deciding on a child custody matter, including the age and gender of the child or children concerned. The respective ability of each parent to participate in making sound decisions about the child's upbringing, as well as the preferences of the child or children themselves, are also considered. If applicable, all may weigh heavily in how a court ultimately rules in a child custody matter.
UNDERSTANDING ALIMONY
CONTEMPT ACTIONS
However, contempt actions don't happen by themselves; the aggrieved party is expected to file the necessary paperwork and be prepared to make their case in court, if applicable. At Daniels Law, LLC, I offer legal representation for parents or former spouses who need assistance bringing a former partner to task for neglecting their court-ordered obligations. Contact my Huntsville office today to learn more about how I can help you enforce an existing court order and see that you and your child don't pay the price for another party's irresponsibility.
MODIFICATIONS TO CONSIDER
PROTECTION FROM ABUSE ORDERS
SIMPLE WILLS, POWER OF ATTORNEY, AND HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES
Appointing someone you trust to handle your personal, financial and business affairs in the event you are unable to do so is something most people tend to postpone until an emergency arises. Also, Health Care Directives are vitally important to instruct your physicians and family members as to what your wishes are in the event you are medically incapacitated and cannot speak for yourself. I will be glad to discuss these issues with you and prepare the documents for you.
