Protecting Your Interests

Lawyer Christopher Adams protects your interests in divorce proceedings while moving toward a workable settlement. His background in business and business law provides unique insights into complex asset divisions. He also assists couples who need documents drafted or minor disputes resolved for an uncontested divorce.

We also handle cases involving:

• Child custody and visitation: Child custody arrangements determine where the child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. Visitation schedules outline the specifics of when and how the non-custodial parent will spend time with their child.
• Child support determinations: These decisions involve calculating the financial contributions required from the non-custodial parent to support the child’s living expenses, education and health care needs.
• Post-divorce modifications: Existing custody and support orders can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a parent’s relocation, which may impact the child’s living arrangements or financial needs.
• Enforcement actions: When a party fails to comply with court orders, such as child support or visitation, it may be necessary to file a contempt of court action to promote compliance and protect the child’s interests.
• Paternity: Establishing paternity is crucial for determining a child’s legal father, which can affect custody, visitation and support obligations. It also secures the child’s rights to benefits and inheritance.
• Adoption cases: Adoption processes can involve stepparents, relatives or grandparents seeking to legally adopt a child, providing them with a stable and permanent family environment and legal rights.
• Prenuptial/postnuptial agreements: These agreements are made before or after marriage to define the distribution of assets and financial responsibilities. They offer clarity and protection for both parties in the event of a divorce.
