Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions family law clients ask most often.

Legal custody gives you the right to make major decisions about your child's education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Physical custody determines where the child lives. Parents can share either or both types of custody. We help you understand and negotiate both forms in your case.
The timeline varies by adoption type. Stepparent adoptions may take 4-6 months, while foster care adoptions can take 6-12 months after the child is legally free for adoption. Private and international adoptions have their own timelines. We guide you through every step.
A prenuptial agreement can protect assets you bring into the marriage, clarify financial expectations, safeguard inheritance for children from prior relationships, and reduce conflict if the marriage ends. We recommend a prenup for anyone with significant assets, a business, or children from a prior relationship.
Child support is typically calculated using state guidelines based on both parents' incomes, the number of children, custody time-sharing, and certain expenses like healthcare and childcare. We ensure calculations are accurate and that you pay or receive the appropriate amount.
Grandparents may seek visitation rights or even custody in certain circumstances — particularly when the child's parents are divorcing, deceased, or unfit. Grandparent rights vary by state, and we can evaluate your situation to determine the best legal path forward.
