Determining Child Custody and Child Support
We work with divorcing couples who have children and need to determine what the best arrangement is for their child in the future. This often involves a determination of which parent will have legal custody and any physical custody or visitation by the other parent. We have handled cases where child custody is disputed or where other factors may be present that influence custody decisions, such as signs of abuse. We also work with unmarried couples who are seeking assistance with determining paternity of a child in addition to helping with the related child support and custody issues.
In Oklahoma, the court will award child support and spousal support based on state guidelines. Many divorcing couples will come to an agreement on how much child support to pay without the court intervening and we can work with you to ensure your child support arrangement is in line with the state guidelines.
We help clients identify and determine what marital property exists and which party should have that property under the law. In a divorce proceeding, the court will distribute the marital assets based on equitable distribution.
