Family Attorneys Hampton Roads

If you are facing a legal concern that involves your family, it hits you close to home, and working closely with an experienced family attorney in Hampton Roads is an excellent place to begin your journey forward. Whether you have a divorce issue, need to establish paternity, are considering adoption, or anything else that is family-related, don’t wait to reach out for the professional legal guidance you need. 

Divorce

If you are going through a divorce or are concerned with the terms that are commonly related to children and divorce (outside of marriage), a family attorney can help. While no two divorces are ever alike, the terms that people getting a divorce must resolve do not vary, including:

Family attorneys help couples getting a divorce hammer out terms that work for them, but a family law attorney can also help you address child custody arrangements with your children’s other parent if you were never married or can help you obtain a modification for child custody arrangements, child support, or alimony as your post-divorce life evolves. In other words, family law addresses all those terms that relate to both your financial rights (in the context of divorce) and your parental rights (in the context of divorce and outside of marriage). 

Adoption

Adoption is a momentous event that can enrich your life in ways you may not have even realized were possible, but it is also a complicated legal matter. If you are ready to begin the adoption process, an experienced family law attorney can help you successfully navigate the path forward toward expanding your family. 

Paternity

When a child’s parents are not married, paternity (the legal determination of who the father is) can become an issue, and family attorneys help parents address the matter. Once paternity is legally established – often via DNA testing – a divorcing couple can address essential matters such as the following:

  • Child support to help ensure that both parents support the child financially throughout their childhood
  • Child custody arrangements to help ensure that the child has the opportunity to bond with both of their parents and to help ensure that they receive the advantages of having both parents in their life
  • Inheritance (establishing paternity helps to ensure that the child becomes a legal heir of their father and that they receive any benefits – such as veterans’ benefits – they are entitled to  

Establishing paternity legally is generally in everyone’s best interest.
