Divorce
When you’re considering divorce, you deserve experienced, dedicated, compassionate representation. Tell us your goals, and we will listen to you and devise a plan tailored to your situation. Whether you seek an uncontested divorce or you have tremendous assets to be divided, we can help. Call us today for a consultation, so you can take the first step towards regaining your independence.
Child Custody & Visitation
Custody and visitation agreements can be as unique as you and your family. Oftentimes, a joint custody agreement is preferable so parents can share custody and time with their children. However, what makes sense for custody depends on your family’s unique situation. Certain factors may prevent a joint custody agreement. Sometimes, one parent has primary custody and there is an agreed visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent. No matter what is the optimal arrangement for your family, we listen to you and we advocate for your rights while we consider the best interest of your children.
Child Support
If we represent you in your divorce, child support may be an important part of the equation. However, even if you’re already divorced and support order is in place, you may experience a change in circumstances such as the loss of a job or a change in pay. If you experience a change that you believe requires modification to an existing child support arrangement, let us help.
Spousal Support
The purpose of spousal support is to balance the income after a divorce. In Springdale, there are many factors courts consider when determining whether to award spousal support. The most important factors are one spouse’s demonstrated a need for support and the other spouse’s ability to pay. You may qualify for either rehabilitative spousal support or permanent spousal support depending on your unique circumstances. Also, call us today to discuss what’s right for you.
Family In Need of Services (FINS) Proceedings
Contact us if you believe your family would benefit from court intervention regarding a child who is difficult or impossible to control. If your child habitually skips school, is unreasonably or unlawfully disobedient and refuses to listen, runs away from home or needs counseling or other services, call the Law Office of Jason M. Hatfield, P.A. We will listen to you and explore every option available to help your family and your child.
