Frequently Asked Questions
What rights do I have as a mother in a custody dispute?
Mothers have the same rights as fathers to seek custody of their children. The court's primary concern is the child's best interests, considering factors like the child's age, health, emotional ties to each parent, and each parent's ability to provide for the child.
How can I protect my rights during a divorce?
Our family law attorneys can assist by negotiating on your behalf, ensuring all agreements reflect your contributions to the marriage, and prioritize your child's stability and security. We will work with you to ensure a fair division of assets, adequate spousal support (if applicable), and a custody arrangement that serves your child's best interests.
What can I do if the father is not paying child support?
Legal action can be taken to enforce the support order. This may include wage garnishment, withholding tax refunds, or even pursuing legal charges in severe cases. Our lawyers can guide you through the process of enforcing a child support order, ensuring that you receive the financial support necessary for your child's care.
Can a mother request modifications to custody or support orders?
Yes, if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or changes in the child's needs. To request a modification, you must file a petition with the court and provide evidence supporting the need for change.
How can I establish paternity to secure child support and legal rights for my child?
Establishing paternity is crucial for securing child support and ensuring your child has legal rights to their father's inheritance, social security benefits, and health insurance. Paternity can be established voluntarily through an acknowledgment of paternity form or through a court order following a DNA test. Our attorneys can assist with the legal process of establishing paternity, ensuring that your child's rights are protected and that you receive the support you need.
