Divorce & Paternity Cases

I provide representation for divorce and paternity cases. During your consultation, we will discuss the applicable laws, the process, and the expectations for everyone involved or considering the dissolution proceeding or paternity matter. I represent clients in contested and uncontested matters.

Parental Allocation Responsibilities

My goal is to help you find the solution that best fits the needs of your child and family. Fill out this form to get started!

Maintenance

Formerly known as alimony, maintenance is support paid by one spouse to the other following a divorce. If you have questions about maintenance, I will help you. This determines if you are eligible to receive support or may have an obligation to pay support to your ex-spouse.

Child Support

There are many factors which play into child support, such as parents’ incomes, parenting time schedules, health insurance coverage, and more. If you are looking to set or modify child support, I will provide you with an explanation of the current statute and considerations by the court in calculating the appropriate support amount.

Mediation

When you choose this firm for mediation services, you will work with a neutral third party to help both parties reach a mutual agreement on unresolved issues. Mediation can help both parties achieve more satisfactory results in their case and resolve issues without litigation. We offer voluntary mediation and court-appointed mediation services.

Guardian ad Litem & Child Representative

To assist in the determination of the best interests for children, Ms. Anderson serves as court-appointed Guardian ad Litem or Child Representatives. Ms. Anderson has been an approved child representative or Guardian ad Litem since 2009. In this role, she meets with parents and children and provides information to the court about what is in the best interest of a child.

Post Decree Order Enforcement (Contempt)

At times court orders are not followed and you may need assistance compelling your ex to pay more money due to you or to follow your parenting time schedule.
