Family Law Legal Services

Divorce

The divorce process begins with filing the petition and progresses through negotiations on matters like property division and custody. Our team ensures all documents are properly prepared, deadlines are met, and court procedures are navigated smoothly. Throughout the process, we focus on efficiently moving the case forward while protecting your interests every step of the way.

 

Child Support

Child support involves determining fair financial contributions based on state guidelines and both parents’ circumstances. We assist in calculating payments, gathering required documentation, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Whether negotiating or representing you in court, our goal is to secure an agreement that upholds the child’s best interests.

 

Child Custody

Custody arrangements focus on creating a plan that serves the best interests of the child while balancing the needs of both parents. We guide you through the legal process, whether negotiating a mutual agreement or representing you in court. Our team ensures that all legal requirements are met, helping to establish clear, enforceable custody and visitation schedules that work for your family.

Adoption

Adoption involves a legal process that transfers parental rights and responsibilities to the adoptive parents. We guide you through each step, from filing necessary documents to meeting court requirements, ensuring all legal aspects are properly handled. Whether you’re adopting through an agency, relative, or step-parent adoption, we work to make the process smooth and stress-free, focusing on the best interests of the child and your family.

Separation Agreement

A separation agreement outlines the terms of living apart, covering issues such as property division, financial support, and child custody. We assist in drafting a comprehensive agreement that addresses your unique situation and protects your interests. Whether negotiating terms or finalizing the agreement in court, we ensure that the process is handled efficiently and legally sound to avoid future disputes.

 

Spousal Maintenance “Alimony”

We provide comprehensive support for spousal maintenance (aka alimony) cases, with assistance in calculating and modifying spousal support agreements to protect financial security during and after divorce.

Legal Separation

For couples choosing to live separately without divorce, legal separation establishes clear terms for property division, spousal support, child custody, and parenting time. This process allows each party to define their rights and responsibilities while remaining legally married, providing structure and stability for both family and financial matters.

Modification of Child Custody 

Support in seeking modification of child custody agreements to better reflect a family’s current needs and priorities.

 

Guardianship

We provide legal guidance through each step of establishing a guardian for a minor or an adult with special needs. From filing petitions to court representation, comprehensive support ensures a smooth process and safeguards the individual’s well-being and rights.

Modification of Child Support or Spousal Maintenance

Modification of child support or spousal maintenance adjusts existing financial support agreements to better reflect current financial circumstances or changes in needs. Legal assistance ensures modifications are handled correctly, whether due to changes in income, employment status, or family requirements, to maintain fair and accurate support levels.

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities establishes decision-making authority and parenting time to support the best interests of the child. Legal guidance ensures that these responsibilities are clearly defined, promoting a balanced arrangement that considers each parent’s role and the child’s well-being.

 

Contempt

Our firm provides legal representation for contempt proceedings, addressing violations of court orders in family law, divorce, and other civil matters. We work diligently to protect our clients’ rights, ensuring compliance with legal obligations and advocating for fair resolutions. Whether you’re seeking enforcement or defending against allegations, we offer strategic guidance tailored to your case.

 

Kohn Law, particularly Erica Bertini and paralegal Debbie, provided outstanding support during a challenging family dispute. From the first consultation, I felt valued and respected. The team worked efficiently under tight deadlines, winning our case with professionalism and dedication. Erica was a strong advocate, always available to answer questions and offer reassurance, while Debbie ensured every detail was meticulously organized. I couldn’t be happier with their knowledgeable, compassionate approach. If you need legal representation, I highly recommend Kohn Law—you won’t regret having them in your corner.Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings.
