Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  · Believe it or not, some days it is great to be a lawyer. The judge in Walton County allowed my client, a single mom, to have her new husband adopt her 7-year-old daughter. This was over the objections of the real father who had not seen the child since 2015 and did not pay child support since 2017....a very happy ending.

• DUI/DWI
  · We settled a divorce and custody case recently when the opposite party (the mother) was found to be concealing her bipolar condition. Some people would testify she was just the sweetest mom. But within the previous year, she had two DUIs, within a month of each other, the 2nd one with the child in the car. She was also charged with child endangerment. She was self-medicating herself with alcohol. In these situations, she had anger and violent tendency problems.She had failed to disclose to anyone in the case including her lawyer that she had seen a psychiatrist after the DUIs, and was diagnosed as bipolar and given medication.The medical records showed this and showed she had stopped her medication blamed that on jail time which she had never served, and quit seeing the doctor.The name of the psychiatrist came out in settlement talks inadvertently. We subpoenaed the records and found what her condition was. The Guardian ad litem recommended that custody goes to the father.Our client, the father got full custody and the mother has only supervised visitation with orders to not drive with the child, get counseling and treatment as recommended, and if she ever wants to change the visitation the situation she has to file a new case in court to ask for it and so why she should get it.
