Family Law Matters in Urbandale

Family law is a legal practice area that deals with matters related to family relationships and domestic issues. It encompasses a wide range of issues and cases that involve individuals who are connected by blood, marriage, or adoption. Family law cases are often emotionally charged and can have a significant impact on the lives of those involved.

Common types of family law cases include:

  • Divorce: The legal process by which a marriage is terminated. It involves the division of marital assets, determination of spousal support (alimony), and other related issues.
  • Child Custody: Determining the legal and physical custody of children when parents separate or divorce. This includes decisions about where the children will live and the rights and responsibilities of each parent.
  • Child Support: Court-ordered financial support provided by one parent to the other for the upbringing of their children. The amount is typically determined based on factors such as income, expenses, and the needs of the child.
  • Adoption: The legal process by which individuals or couples become the legal parents of a child who is not biologically their own. This can involve step-parent adoptions, agency adoptions, or international adoptions.
  • Paternity: Cases that establish the legal father of a child. This may be relevant in situations where the parents are not married, and paternity needs to be established for purposes such as child support or custody.
  • Prenuptial Agreements: Legal documents created before marriage that outline how property, assets, and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or death. They can also address spousal support and other financial matters.
  • Domestic Violence: Cases involving abusive behavior within a family or household. Protective orders or restraining orders may be sought to provide legal protection for victims.
  • Modifications: Requests to modify existing court orders related to divorce, child custody, child support, or other family law matters. Changes may be requested due to significant life changes such as job loss, relocation, or changes in the needs of the children.
