Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  We can help you get a fair divorce, child support for your children, or child custody so that your children are in the best possible care.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Every family is different. Every family dynamic is different. And the obstacles facing each family can be vastly different. Arkansas law provides specifics on how issues from each of these cases are to be determined. In fact, these "family law" cases are divided into three separate divisions of the Arkansas Court system! Issues with your family are indescribably hard. There are often many emotions driving your decision making-from hurt to anger to sadness. Often individuals are completely devastated when faced with divorce, change of custody, grandparents' rights, or any other type of "family law" issue. And that's ok These cases are often life altering. Unlike a car accident case where you most likely would not know the person who hit your car, in family law cases you do know the other parties in the case-often intimately-and will have to continue to have interactions with them for many years to come. For example, if you are faced with the possibility of divorce and have young children, the issues of child custody, support, visitation exchanges, and decisions about childrearing will be part of the picture for a long time. At Chronister, Fields, & Flake, we are able to take what the law says and look at your case through an objective lens. We can assess your case and recommend a course of action that is best for you based on your concerns and the rights and responsibilities the law provides.
