Our Domestic Defense Actions Include:
Adoption
Whether you are looking into adoption for the first time or have already tried other adoption avenues, we can answer all of your questions about adoptions in Arkansas.
Alimony, Spousal Support, and Spousal Maintenance:
Alimony or spousal support is support paid by a supporting spouse to a dependent spouse. The amount and duration of alimony or spousal support depends on a number of factors. We can help you determine whether alimony or spousal support is an issue in your situation and, if so, what amount and term would be fair to pay or to receive. We handle all issues relating to the physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing of children in Arkansas. Depending on the circumstances of the case, each parent is typically entitled to significant periods of parenting time with their children and input into major decisions affecting their children, including education, religion, and non-emergency medical procedures.
Child Support:
Child support is generally ordered by the court in situations in which a child lives with one but not both parents. Courts plug numbers into the child support formula and come up with an amount of support that should be paid for the child or children. The child support guidelines are not an exact method of calculating child support in every situation, and parties can argue that because of special circumstances, a court should order more or less support than the guideline amount.
Divorce, Dissolution, Legal Separation, and Annulment:
Divorce, or dissolution as it is called in Arkansas, is the legal process by which a marriage is terminated.
Domestic Abuse and Domestic Violence:
There is no excuse for domestic violence or domestic abuse. Domestic violence may involve physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional abuse. But, simply because you are charged with domestic abuse, does not make you guilty and you are entitled to competent legal representation.
Juvenile Law and Juvenile Delinquency:
When a juvenile is accused of a crime in Arkansas, the legal process is very different than in adult court. When dealing with a juvenile in Arkansas, we handle adjudication hearings, certification and waiver hearings, disposition hearings, trials, probation, community service, school suspensions, and school expulsions.
Marital Property:
Arkansas Is not a “community property” state but it is an “equitable division” state. That means that each spouse will be awarded what is fair under the circumstances. While that sounds easy enough, dividing a marital estate at the time of a divorce has become an increasingly complex process as the division of marital assets is no longer simply a matter of identifying and dividing real and personal property. Today’s divorce client requires the knowledge and expertise necessary to examine and evaluate issues relating to business interests, retirement accounts, pension plans, stock options, as well as an understanding of tax ramifications.
Mediation:
Mediation is a process in which a third-party neutral, whether one mediator or more, acts as a facilitator to assist in resolving a dispute between two or more parties.
