At the Lekan Law Firm, we will make sure you know what to expect from your family law matter from day one. We provide legal counsel for families who are looking for a divorce, child support and custody modifications, or adoptions and guardianships.
A divorce is started when one party files a petition based on specific legal grounds. As soon as the divorce petition is filed, the clock starts ticking on the parties’ legal rights. There will be deadlines and court appearances which may have long term consequences for both parties. It is imperative that you obtain representation early in your case to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines or waive any of your rights. We can help you with every aspect of your divorce, including child support and alimony. We can also assist you with custody modifications after your divorce has been finalized.
There are many issues to decide as you go through a divorce. We will help you understand the difference between real and personal property, as well as your options for the division of marital property. We will also help you understand the division of debts. One of your main concerns will be the future of your children, including custody, visitation, child support, and tax exemptions for your children. We will also help you with concerns such as medical insurance and alimony.
Because the court system is an expensive and slow process, our firm places a high priority on trying to resolve your issues quickly without having to go to court, if possible. In most cases, the parties can resolve their differences through a process called mediation. Mediation allows the parties to retain some control over the outcome of their case as opposed to giving the Court complete power and possibly subjecting both parties to results that they are not happy with. However, if we cannot resolve your issues through mediation, we will vigorously and aggressively fight for you in court to the extent that your budget allows.
