Adoption
If you are looking at a decision to build your family through adoption, we understand that it is life changing and not without its share of difficulties. Our legal expertise, assertive representation, and availability to answer your questions will help guide you through your adoption journey despite your fears regarding the process. Between 500,000 and 1 million couples seek to adopt in the United States every year. We can help with newborn adoptions, adoptions of minority children, foster care adoptions, grandparent adoptions, open and closed adoptions, and stepparent adoptions; sometimes to complete an adoption due to various circumstances it is also necessary to terminate the rights of a biological parent, and we can handle these cases as well.
Post-Divorce Actions
Many times a divorce still can leave some issues unresolved. Salaries go up and down requiring a need to change the amount of child support to reflect the new figures. Kids go to college and you need the court to determine how much you, your spouse, and your child are going to pay. Maintenance was ordered, but you or your spouse is retiring or just lost a job. Initially you agreed to two visitation days per week because your work didn't allow you more, but now your schedule has changed and you would like to petition the court for more visitation to see your children. Any number of situations can occur as the years pass, and we're here to help on those as well.
Dissolution
Dissolution cases are an area of specialty for Parker & Halliday. We have extensive experience handling all divorce related issues and estates of all sizes. While we prefer to handle matters through an in person consultation here at the office, there are a few basic facts that occur in any given divorce case.
Uncontested Divorces
Sometimes, depending upon the relationship of spouses, it is not necessary to fight at all. You know what you want and how you want to divide your assets. What you don't know is how to go to court and how to get the paperwork drawn up properly. Parker & Halliday is happy to guide you throughout this process, listening to your needs and preferences as an amicable solution is worked out.
