Family Law
Family law advocates do not just deal with unpleasant situations such as divorce. The attorneys at Wagstaff Law Offices help couples through marriage, adoption, and other exciting seasons of life.
How Can A Family Law Attorney Help?
Everyone has connections with other people through birth, blood, or legal contract. Sometimes these ties can get complicated when it comes to the legal side of things. As family law advocates, we are here to help you get things straightened out. We deal with domestic relations, parenting matters, matrimonial issues, and more.
Marriage
Unfortunately, not everyone lives “happily ever after” once the wedding is over. We are here to support you when questions arise during your journey throughout your marriage. Various family law aspects may come up before and after you decide to tie the knot with the man or woman you love. We can help you with:
- Prenuptial agreements
- Name changes
- Understanding the financial aspects of marriage such as debt, income, and credit problems.
Some unions seem made in heaven. They are painless and happy. Others need a little bit of work to tie up loose ends left over from previous matrimonial relations, children, financial issues, and so on. If you have some complications or need legal advice to avoid problems in the future, your family law attorneys at Wagstaff Law Offices have assisted clients in every phase of marriage and are glad to share their wisdom and experience to help you with yours.
Separation or Divorce

There are many types of divorces that you can file for and we can support you as you decide on the most convenient way to separate your life, property, and children.
The dissolution of marriage can be smooth when both spouses are in agreement, but that is not always the case. We are here to help you look at your situation objectively and make sure that you are getting what is fair in every aspect of the divorce settlement, including:

Often, having an experienced attorney to talk about the needs of your child will allow you to see things more objectively, especially when you are working on creating a parenting plan after a divorce or trying to resolve child custody issues with your former spouse.
