Family Law
Prenuptial Agreements - These agreements are not just for people who are worried about a divorce in the future; they help spouses understand each other's expectations as they enter into a life-long relationship. They foster communication and understanding between each person. They can be especially important in situations where one or both spouses are bringing children into the marriage and they want to make sure that the children are protected.
Separation Agreements - Sometimes a spousal relationship needs to end for any number of reasons, be it an issue of safety, financial stability, differing life goals, unexpected personality changes, or otherwise. When that time comes, the best way to separate is usually based on mutually agreeable terms. A 50-50 split is rarely ordered by the Court so it is important to understand your legal rights and obligations as you determine what terms you can agree to with your separating spouse. It is also very difficult to negotiate meaningfully when you are in an emotionally vulnerable state. Regent Law can help you understand your legal rights and obligations, and we can help you create a Separation Agreement that meets your needs.
Courtroom Advocacy - A separation agreement is usually the best process to part ways, but that is not always an option. When you need legal representation in court, Regent Law can provide skillful advocacy to ensure that your rights are protected by the law. We have experience advocating on income and asset analysis, spousal and child support, custody and access, and other family matters.
Adult Guardianship - When our loved ones are unable to care for themselves as a result of mental disabilities, someone needs to be able to make decisions on their behalf. Unless they drafted and properly executed a Power of Attorney, it is likely necessary for you to work with the Public Guardian and Trustee to become a guardian for your loved one. This is often a complicated and time-consuming process. Regent Law can provide you with insight and direction to make the process as quick and easy as possible.
