How Can A Family Law Lawyer Help You?

A family law lawyer can benefit you by assisting in reaching a formal and binding agreement with your ex-spouse. This binding agreement, called a separation agreement, is often negotiated in a relatively informal process like a 4-way meeting or mediation.

Even though the process can be informal, the ultimate result is formal, in that the resulting separation agreement is legally binding and enforceable agreement. It is legally enforceable just like a court order.

There are other times, however, when an informal process will not work. Sometimes cases need to go to court. Like when the parties cannot agree on a matter that is essential.

For example, a party may refuse to agree to pay the support they are required to pay under the law, and the other party feels they have no choice but to proceed to court for a binding decision. In other instances, the parents cannot agree on what is in the best interests of the children for their parenting plan. In these cases, they ask a judge to make the decision for them.

At Hemminger Law Group Westshore we are very experienced in the courtroom.

Parenting and the high cost of conflict is not about our pocket-books, it is about our kids

Although sometimes court cannot be avoided, it is always important to remember that if we can avoid conflict for the sake of our kids, it is the best possible thing we can do. Kids get over the fact that their parents are separated. They do not get over the fact of their parents being in continuous conflict.

One of the best and most sure-fire ways to put your kids first in separation is to avoid being in conflict with the other parent. Do not sweat the small stuff. We know that is a hard thing to do when the other parent is driving you crazy. At the same time, it is what will help your kids thrive.
