Dover Johnson's Family Law practice provides sensitive and skilled legal representation in all aspects of family-related legal issues. In divorce proceedings, our attorneys understand the emotional and financial complexities involved. We provide comprehensive guidance on issues such as equitable division of marital assets and debts, spousal support (alimony), and the long-term financial implications of divorce. We strive to protect our clients' financial interests while navigating the often-challenging emotional landscape of divorce. Our approach emphasizes finding amicable resolutions through negotiation and mediation whenever possible, but we are fully prepared to litigate fiercely to protect our clients' rights in court when necessary.

Matters involving children are of paramount importance in family law. Dover Johnson provides dedicated advocacy in child custody and visitation disputes, prioritizing the best interests of the children above all else. We assist clients in developing parenting plans that address legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child resides), as well as detailed visitation schedules that promote a healthy and stable environment for the children. We understand the emotional toll these disputes can take on families and strive to achieve outcomes that minimize conflict and support the well-being of the children. We also handle issues related to parental relocation and modifications of custody orders.

Child support is a crucial aspect of ensuring the financial well-being of children following separation or divorce. Dover Johnson assists clients in establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders in accordance with applicable state guidelines. We carefully analyze income information and other relevant factors to ensure that child support obligations are fair and accurately reflect the needs of the children. We advocate for our clients' financial interests while ensuring that children receive the necessary financial support for their care and upbringing.

Adoption is a joyous yet legally complex process. Dover Johnson guides families through all stages of adoption, whether it be domestic adoptions, international adoptions, or step-parent adoptions. We provide comprehensive legal counsel to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the adoption process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. We understand the profound impact of adoption on families and are committed to providing compassionate and expert legal support.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide clarity and security regarding financial matters in the event of marriage or divorce. Dover Johnson assists clients in drafting and reviewing these agreements, ensuring that they are legally sound and accurately reflect the parties' intentions. We provide clear and practical advice on the potential benefits and implications of such agreements, helping clients make informed decisions about their financial future.

Domestic violence situations require immediate and decisive legal action. Dover Johnson provides compassionate and assertive representation to victims of domestic violence, assisting them in obtaining restraining orders and other legal protections. We also represent individuals who have been wrongly accused of domestic violence, ensuring their rights are protected in court. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and are committed to providing our clients with the support and legal advocacy they need.

Modifications of existing court orders are often necessary as circumstances change. Dover Johnson assists clients in seeking modifications to child custody, child support, and spousal support orders when there has been a substantial change in circumstances. We guide clients through the legal process of seeking modifications and advocate for outcomes that reflect their current needs and the best interests of their children.
