Divorce

Our firm handles contested and uncontested divorces as efficiently and effectively as possible. We strive to provide clients with all options and our professional opinion on the way in which the case may be resolved that best suits their goals for the outcome. Some of the matters that are also dealt with throughout the divorce process include:

• Spousal Support (Alimony): Though not all cases involve spousal support (alimony) payments, our firm is dedicated to helping clients fight for the support that they require.
• Property Division: One of the most contested issues in a divorce is the division of marital property. Houses, cars and other types of real estate and personal property are often argued, since both sides generally want to keep as much as possible. We help clients understand the types of property that may be divided and how the courts may divide assets such as 401K accounts, retirement benefits and pensions.

Children's Issues

When family law matters involve children, it is especially important that the parents try and work together whenever possible. As a firm, we always strive to resolve child support, child custody and other children's issues while keeping the best interests of the children in mind. We represent clients that have been married to the other parent of the children or never been married in child support and child custody cases.

Other Family Law Services

The Powell Law Firm can establish guardianships for foster parents, grandparents or other legal guardians. We also handle stepparent and grandparent adoptions, as well as private adoptions. Lastly, we handle paternity issues, including mothers seeking child support and fathers seeking access.

Resolution of Family Law Cases

We always seek to solve family law issues through negotiation, but we will not hesitate to litigate when amicable methods have failed. Our firm is not afraid to take a case to court if that is in our clients' best interests. We also handle modifications of child custody agreements, child support orders and visitation arrangements, in light of the best situation for the child.
