Family Law

• Divorce
  There are a variety of circumstances that can and do complicate divorce proceedings. Even when you and your spouse agree to mediation, collaboration, or an uncontested divorce, some circumstances will always require the counsel of a lawyer.
• Child Support
  Modification and enforcement — Even after a family law matter has been finalized, there is always an opportunity to change the terms of an agreement. Whether you wish to regain custody of your children or need to change the cost of child support, modification is always an option.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Grandparent’s visitation — Although Kentucky does not have official grandparent’s rights regulations, if you are a grandparent and are being kept away from your grandchildren there are options. Our firm can help petition the court for reasonable visitation rights.
• Adoption
• Premarital Agreement
  Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements — Whether you are planning on marriage or have already committed, a marital contract will protect your assets, business and property in the event of a divorce, and will protect your family’s right to receive property under a Last Will.
• Guardianship
  When it comes to divorce, all aspects of your life will be under scrutiny, but at our firm, we know that when children are involved, they are always your top priority. Our divorce lawyer in Owensboro handles guardianships, custodianships, child custody, and visitation matters. We will explain a variety of custody agreement arrangements, the difference between custody and visitation, and the impact these agreements will have on child support arrangements.
• Spousal Support
  Divorce — This area includes child and spousal support, guardianships, custody/visitation, valuing assets and property division. We handle a variety of divorce cases, including simple uncontested divorces, bankruptcy and divorce and high-asset divorce. We also participate in mediation and collaborative divorce.
• Annulment
  Annulments — In Kentucky, there are strict qualifications that must be met in order to be granted an annulment. Attaining an annulment can be as complicated as securing a divorce; this is why it is important to hire an attorney who understands the process well and can protect your interests.

Criminal Law

• Restraining Order
  Domestic violence protection orders — If you or your children are being abused by someone in your home, we can help. Securing a restraining order against your spouse or partner can force him or her to leave your home and stop all communication with you and your children.
