Modifications and Enforcements

Life continues to change after a judge finalizes your divorce. We represent and defend people in post divorce modification and enforcement proceedings. When situations change after your divorce, parties may petition the court to modify an existing order. When a spouse fails to abide by the conditions of a divorce order or agreement, we will defend and represent clients in enforcement proceedings.

Paternity Disputes

Before a parent acquires any rights or obligations in relation to a child, the court must first resolve any paternity disputes. The most frequent way a party establishes paternity is by signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity form. When the court is uncertain on the subject of paternity, it will require a person to undertake paternity testing. Generally done through DNA testing, paternity testing is essential before a court will grant child support, custody, or visitation.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Occasionally, parties want to define their rights and obligations prior to marriage or divorce. A prenuptial agreement is a tool parties can employ to protect their financial wealth and legal obligations before getting married. We also draft postnuptial agreements, before a divorce, to achieve goals similar to a prenuptial agreement.
