Child Support Lawyer
The fundamental principle is that financial support for children is a legal duty, not a choice, and it applies to all parents, regardless of their marital status or whether they have lived with the child. It includes biological parents, adoptive parents, and, in some cases, step-parents who have stood in the place of a parent. We are here to guide you through the complexities of child support arrangements.
Spousal Support Lawyers
Spousal support represents a legal obligation for one person to provide financial support to their spouse in order to alleviate the economic disparity resulting from a family breakdown. On the other hand, spousal support can be financially draining for the payor. Let us help you here. Our lawyers offer invaluable advice and guidance throughout the spousal support application process and will ensure you get financial peace of mind.
Child Custody Lawyer
Child custody involves the legal authority to make significant decisions regarding a child's life. It can be sole or shared between parents. For a child, having their parents split up can be very disruptive, and it is essential that custody arrangements be decided smoothly and in the best interest of the children. At DLegal, we know that the well-being of your children is essential to you. We handle each child custody case with great care and sensitivity.
