Henderson Child Custody Attorney

Child Custody, Child Support, Parenting Plans, Relocation and Time Sharing - At Family Law Centers, our Lawyers and Attorneys share the courts' approach in looking out for the best interests of children. While we understand the necessity for sole custody in some specific circumstances, we understand and support the law's position that children benefit from time spent with both parents.

Child Support - With a challenging economy comes challenges to those seeking child support and those paying child support. Losing a job or the opportunity for overtime could result in delinquent payments that result in more serious consequences.

Divorce - Contested, Uncontested, and Bi-Lateral Options

Divorce is never a simple matter. Two people who have joined their lives, must now separate them again. The emotional toll is high - especially when children are involved. Whenever possible, our Henderson divorce attorneys honestly try to minimize the emotional and financial burdens that are always part of a divorce process.

UNCONTESTED DIVORCE - This is the fastest and least expensive way to obtain a divorce in Clark County, NV. An uncontested divorce is possible when both parties agree in advance about how the marriage will end and how the assets and debts will be divided. Our Henderson divorce attorney will meet with you to gain an understanding of the agreement you have reached, then draft that agreement into a legal document including all of the required language that the court will expect to see. Typically, the court approves the agreement in a few weeks and the process is completed.

CONTESTED DIVORCE - This is the traditional method of getting divorced in Henderson. It is also the longest and most expensive way to obtain a divorce. If finances are a concern, you should avoid a contested divorce. However, if it is unavoidable, you need an attorney who can offer agressive representation in court while being willing to work on a settlement behind the scenes. The dirty little secret that most family law attorneys won't disclose is that over 90% of divorces settle before being decided by a Judge. The reason is simple, after spending many months and thousands of dollars fighting the case, accounts become depleted and assets become debts. It is easier to find a settlement when there is nothing left to fight over, and clients are faced with a huge bill for trial costs.

BI-LATERAL DIVORCE - If you and your spouse can agree on something but not everything in your situation, we strongly advise you to start with our bi-lateral divorce program. Our divorce attorneys will act as a third party to neutralize the emotions on both sides and help you both find value in reaching an agreement before filing in court. Why not attempt to reach a resolution in a private, low-cost environment before going to the expensive public court system? Even if everything can not be completely worked out in advance, we can put the agreeable terms in writing which may only leave one or two issues for a court to decide. This can significantly reduce your attorneys fees because you will have very little to fight about in court.
