- Child SupportThe laws that dictate how child support is calculated involve a formula that takes into account income and other factors. This formula is only as good as the numbers entered into it. It is important to know that the laws relating to child support are complex. There are certain factors that can allow for deviation of the numbers generated by the formula. We will apply our experience in this field to help you attain your financial goals and secure your children’s financial well-being.

- GuardianshipEstate planning is the legal process that responsible individuals engage in to maximize the benefits and minimize the stress and negative financial consequences to their survivors. A will is a legal instrument through which persons can direct in advance how they wish for their assets to be divided after their death. A will may also carry numerous other wishes of the deceased such as guardianship of minor children, burial method, and other specific wishes. The simplicity or complexity of the will is highly dependent on the individual’s desires and value of assets. At the Allen Law Firm, LLC we design a custom-made plan that suits your particular needs. While a simple will may suffice for a young couple who are just starting out, a more complex will may be necessary for an established couple who wish to pass down as much of their hard-earned wealth to their descendants as possible.

- Estate PlanningIs the legal process through which a deceased individual’s assets are distributed to that person’s heirs either in accordance with a will, if one existed at the time of death, or in accordance with the law if the deceased individual died without a will. Many assets can be shielded from the probate process through good estate planning, as the administrative costs of the probate process are somewhat dependent on the value of the probate estate, and the higher the value, the higher the costs. The probate process can also be lengthy and can lead to strife within the family of the deceased. Again, this is something that can be avoided through proper estate planning. Even with the best planned estates, some form of probate administration is unavoidable, which is why choosing an experienced and sympathetic attorney can mean the difference between reducing the stress of the bereaved or adding to it.

- BankruptcyThe United States Constitution at Article I, Section 8, authorizes Congress to enact bankruptcy laws. Congress has done so and Title 11 of the U.S. Code is the uniform law governing bankruptcies in the United States. Nevertheless, exemption law, contract law, local court rules, and other legal matters will make bankruptcy law vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The information on this website is focused on Bankruptcy Relief in Ohio, but people who live in other jurisdictions might find the general information and concepts useful.
