- Child SupportThe decision to get divorced can be one of the most challenging moments in your life. You may have many questions on your mind as you take this next step. Individuals with children will need to work with their former partner on a detailed parenting plan regarding custody, parenting time, visitation, and parenting decisions. You may have questions about child support.
- Child Custody and VisitationIt is also a decision that can impact your children’s lives for years to come. Consequently, if you have children and are getting divorced, you’ll be required to have a clear parenting plan in place for your family outlining your child custody decisions.
- AdoptionIn all stepparent adoptions, the consent of the birth parents is required, including the consent of the birth parent who the stepparent is not married to. This can often be challenging, as the process means the birth parents must give up all their parental responsibilities. However, there are certain situations in which a birth parent can have their rights terminated if they don’t consent.
- PaternityWhen unmarried parents have a child, the Family Court often refers to the case as a “paternity†action, as that is often the first thing that must be ascertained. Paternity must be established before the Court can go on to address other usual issues concerning custody, visitation, support, and other important matters concerning the child. Hayes Law Firm Upstate Attorneys, LLC, has represented hundreds of parents in connection with paternity cases, whether you are the mother or the father.
