What is Family Law?

 

Family law covers legal issues related to marriage, divorce, child custody, support, and more. In Indiana, the laws surrounding divorce, custody, adoption, and related family matters can be complex, and it is important to understand how they may affect your future.

​

At King & Rowe, Attorneys at Law, we help our clients navigate the legal intricacies of family law in a way that protects both their legal rights and their loved ones. Whether you're facing a divorce or dealing with child custody arrangements, we are here to help you make informed decisions with the guidance of a trusted legal professional.

​

Divorce

 

Divorce can be one of the most emotionally and financially challenging experiences in a person’s life. If you and your spouse are in disagreement over key matters such as:

​

• Division of property and assets

• Child custody and parenting time

• Child support

• Spousal support

​

Then your divorce may become contested. In these situations, you need an experienced family law attorney by your side to ensure your rights are protected. At King & Rowe, we will work diligently to ensure your case is handled efficiently and effectively, representing you in court if necessary and helping you reach a fair resolution.

​

Child Custody

 

Child custody disputes are one of the most common and emotional issues in family law. Whether parents are divorcing or separating, it is important to establish a clear, legally enforceable custody arrangement. If you and your child's other parent are able to come to an agreement, we can assist you in drafting and filing the necessary documents with the court.

​

However, if an agreement cannot be reached independently, we offer mediation services to help you and the other parent work out the details. If mediation fails, we are ready to represent you in court, advocating for a custody arrangement that prioritizes your child’s well-being and future.

​

Paternity

 

Establishing paternity is a crucial matter when it comes to securing parental rights and responsibilities. If there is a dispute over paternity, our attorneys can help you navigate the process of proving or disproving paternity with DNA testing and legal procedures.

​

Once paternity is established, we can assist in determining custody arrangements, child support, and other important matters that affect both the child and the parents.

​

Child & Spousal Support

 

Child support and spousal support can be a source of contention during divorce proceedings. In cases where one parent has primary custody of the children, the non-custodial parent may be required to pay child support. Similarly, spousal support may be necessary when one spouse is financially dependent on the other.

At King & Rowe, Attorneys at Law, we provide guidance and legal representation to help you navigate the complexities of child and spousal support, ensuring fair agreements are reached and upheld.

​

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

 

A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide protection and clarity for both spouses, especially when it comes to division of assets and liabilities. Our experienced attorneys can help you draft a clear and legally sound agreement that safeguards your financial interests and provides peace of mind.

​

Guardianship

 

Guardianship matters arise when an individual, due to age, incapacity, or disability, needs someone to manage their affairs. If you're seeking guardianship of a minor or an incapacitated adult, our attorneys will guide you through the legal process of obtaining guardianship, ensuring that the person you care for is properly protected and cared for.

​

Adoption

 

Adopting a child is a rewarding but complex legal process. Whether you’re adopting through a private agency or seeking legal custody of a child you already care for, King & Rowe can provide the legal expertise you need to complete the adoption process smoothly and successfully.

​

Mediation

 

Mediation is an excellent way to resolve family law disputes without the need for lengthy court battles. Our experienced mediators can help you and the other party communicate effectively and negotiate a fair solution. If necessary, we also provide legal counsel to ensure that your interests are protected during the mediation process.
