Marriage Contracts
Today’s marriage agreements look a little different from those of the past. If you and your soon-to-be spouse need support walking through this (sometimes) sensitive topic, we can help!
LEARN MORECohabitation Agreements
You may not “need a piece of paper” to signify your commitment to one another. But without a cohabitation agreement, you may be at risk. We help you know your rights and protect your assets.
LEARN MORESeparation Agreements
Relationships may break down and you may have to make important decisions (e.g., how are you going to divide assets, where are the children going to reside, how much support is payable? etc.) Our lawyers are here to guide you every step of the way.
LEARN MOREDivorce
Divorce is never easy. In our current “no fault” divorce system, couples must wait a minimum of one year prior to being granted a divorce. At Foote Law, we support you throughout your divorce proceedings.
LEARN MOREDecision Making & Parenting Time
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs you will ever have, together or apart. At Foote Law we work with you to establish a parenting plan that is in the best interests of your child(ren).
LEARN MOREChild Support and Special/Extraordinary Expenses
Foote Law helps to uphold your child’s rights by determining and enforcing child support and ensuring there is a fair and accurate assessment of income for purposes of support payments moving forward.
LEARN MORESpousal Support
Whether a spouse has a financial need following a separation, or may be entitled to be compensated for a role they played in the relationship (e.g., a stay-at-home parent or caretaker) Foote Law is here to help determine if you may be entitled to receive spousal support, how much you may be entitled to, and for how long.
LEARN MORESupport Enforcement
Do you have a court order or a separation agreement that includes child support or spousal support and are having a hard time enforcing the support provisions? You DO have options and our lawyers will help you navigate them.
LEARN MOREEqualization Process
Married couples have an automatic right to share in the value of assets accumulated throughout the marriage, but this does not always mean splitting things 50/50. Our team will utilize our knowledge, experience, and outside resources such as forensic accountants when necessary to determine an appropriate equalization and division of assets.
LEARN MOREAdoption
If you are choosing to add to your family through the adoption of a child, Foote Law can assist you with the legal adoption process and other family services.
LEARN MOREWills and Power and Attorney
