Divorce can be a complex and difficult process. Not all marriages end in anger, in fact, many couples look for amicable ways to end their relationships. Choosing to try a collaborative divorce can cut down on legal fees, time in court, and make the entire process simpler. In a collaborative divorce, you, your spouse, and your attorneys work together to come up with a divorce agreement. Other third parties, such as a financial advisor and child care specialist, may also be involved.
Child Support
A parent’s responsibility to their child does not end upon divorce. Nevada law requires parents to continue supporting their child for as long as necessary so they can continue to maintain the standard of living they had before the separation. Child support payments are taken from a percentage of a parent’s monthly income before taxes.
Child Custody and Visitation
While she is a formidable opponent, she is a compassionate ally to her clients. She will work with you personally to help you understand your rights and options. She listens carefully to her clients and helps them understand the law, their current position and the value of their case. She will be the strong advocate you need as you struggle with a divorce, child custody dispute, domestic violence, or other family law matters.
Adoption
Paternity
In Nevada, both the mother and father have equal rights that can be exercised involving their children, once parentage has been established. Parentage is often presumed for women, as they are seen as the biological mother. Establishing parentage for an unmarried father involves establishing paternity. Once both the mother and father establish this, then their rights towards their children are exercised equally. This means that the court will not give preference to either gender, instead, they act on what is in the best interests of the child(ren).
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Marriage is a business decision. By establishing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, we can help you protect your financial interests should the need arise.
Guardianship
I wanted to thank you for all of the help in our recent guardianship case. We know the case was quite challenging and time consuming, especially given some of the parties in the case including family members and other attorneys. In the end, we managed to get to a place that we feel was the best for the situation. Even though we spent a lot of money, your services were worth the cost. The old adage of you get what you pay for was definitely true in this matter when compared to other counsel in the case. We truly appreciate everything your office and staff did to help us and that Kelli did not allow us to throw in the towel, even though we felt defeated on some occasions. Thank you again!”
Spousal Support
Alimony in Nevada, also known as spousal support, is a common court order for divorcing couples who had long marriages. The purpose of alimony is to financially support a spouse who would not be able to live the same standard of living they had when married after the separation. Many factors play into this, including the financial status of both spouses, employment or eligibility for employment, and asset division from the divorce, among many other things.
Legal Separation
Legal separations: We can help you determine if a legal separation serves your interests. In most cases, divorce is the favored option, as its legal orders are binding and permanent. However, some people need to choose legal separation for religious or insurance-related purposes. We are there to help.
