What Can a Family Lawyer Help With?
There are many reasons why you might need help from a family lawyer. From crafting co-parenting agreements and mediation, to child custody, support and contested divorce settlements.
Divorce/Dissolution of Marriage
Ending a marriage is never easy. A good divorce attorney will help ensure you receive a fair settlement of any assets, reasonable support, and a parenting arrangement that is in the best interests of you and your children.
Child Custody and Visitation
As a parent, you have a natural legal right to care for and be involved in the lives of your children. A custody lawyer will help you establish a parenting plan that protects your rights and enables you to spend a fair and reasonable amount of time with your kids.
Child Support
A separation can create immense financial hardship for parents. Hiring a child support attorney can help ensure the child support order is fair and reasonable, and enables you to care for your child's welfare financially.
Adoption
Adoption attorneys help you decide if adoption is right for you and your family, and then assist you with completing the legal process required to adopt a child and make legal and financial decisions on their behalf from that point forward.
Legal Help with Resolving Your Family Law Issue
Family law issues are uniquely personal and can often be exceptionally emotional because of the nature of the relationships involved. The insight and guidance of a knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney will be invaluable for helping eliminate unnecessary stress, and achieving a favorable legal outcome for you and your children.

Guardianship - Securing Your Legal Rights to Care for Someone in Need
Sometimes a person is no longer able to make good, sound choices in his or her own best interest. If circumstances get so bad that a court must intervene, the court looks for the least intrusive way to help. Sometimes it is necessary to take decision-making power completely away from a person for their own protection. In such cases, the court appoints a guardian - someone assigned to make decisions on behalf of the protected person (the ward).
Types of Guardianship
There are three types of guardianship: (1) guardianship of a person, (2) guardianship of property, and (3) guardianship of both a person and property. The court-appointed guardian is responsible for making day-to-day decisions the ward would normally make regarding issues of personal welfare.

For instance, the guardian might oversee the ward's medical decisions, including a decision to have surgery. The guardian will be responsible for ensuring the ward has groceries. A property guardian is responsible for managing the ward's property alone. In those situations, the guardian will not make decisions about the ward's personal welfare, but will make decisions about the ward's assets, including whether or not large purchases can be made and whether or how to invest money. A guardian of both a person and property, is sometimes called a plenary guardian, and can make both types of decisions.
When is a Guardian Appointed?
In most circumstances, a minor child's parents are his or her plenary guardians. If a child's parents both die, however, it will be necessary for the court to appoint a guardian. Another common situation is where guardians are appointed for elderly people with dementia and who may no longer able to make wise choices. Guardianship also can be established for people with physical, emotional, mental, or developmental disabilities, when the court determines the individual cannot make good decisions and it is necessary for the subject's own protection and welfare.
Guardianship involves removing a person's rights and assigning decision-making power to someone else. It is a last resort, and courts will look for the least intrusive measures that can adequately protect a ward.
Understanding How to Proceed in Your Guardianship Case
If you are in a situation where you feel someone you love needs to have a guardian appointed, ask your unbundled attorney if the circumstances merit that a court should consider guardianship, or what are the alternatives. If you are considering becoming a guardian for someone, be aware of the strict reporting requirements and other obligations required of guardians. Your unbundled attorney will make sure you are informed of all of your obligations before going to court, and assist you in presenting the facts that support your decision to pursue guardianship in a court of law.
