Overland Park, Kansas Divorce Lawyer Divorce issues cause a great deal of stress for all involved. By working with an experienced and compassionate divorce lawyer, the emotionally charged issues can be dealt with as efficiently and effectively as possible. 30 Years of Family Law Experience At the Mary Ellen Rose Law Firm, I personally handle all of my clients' family law cases matters. As an experienced family law attorney, I provide knowledgeable representation for clients located in and around the Overland Park area. As a mother and a grandmother, I understand the importance of family. I work hard to help my clients with a wide variety of family law issues, including: Divorce and Separation Agreements Whether you are dealing with a contested or uncontested divorce, I can provide the advice and guidance to protect your rights and interests. I also advise and represent clients with all of the issues arising from a divorce, including alimony, property division, child custody and child support. In addition to divorces, I also assist clients by drafting separation agreements. A separation agreement may be in a client's interests and provide an effective alternative to a divorce. However, these are handled on an individual basis and are dependent on the client's specific situation. Property Division In Kansas, property and assets are divided equitably. This means that property is distributed equitably, but evenly. You need an experienced divorce lawyer to insure your interests are represented. It is also important to know that debt is divided between the parties as well. The court applies a multi-factor test, and the facts of each case will determine the outcome. Child Custody and Visitation Disputes Child custody and visitation are issues are important and often contested, issues in many divorces. The test the court applies is the best interests of the children. With over three decades of experience working with child custody matters, I have seen practically every type of situation and provide you with knowledgeable counsel. Child Support and Alimony In the course of a divorce, you may be facing two different types of support issues: child support and alimony. Child support is determined by a formula that is set by state statutes. Alimony (sometimes called spousal support) is determined by a judge taking into account multiple factors such as income earning potential, age of the parties and length of the marriage. In either of these types of cases, I offer informed advice for your case, explain your options for support matters and the likelihood of the court granting the order. Post-Judgment Issues I handle issues for clients that may arise after an initial family court order has been entered. This includes enforcement or modification of child custody, child support, visitation or other orders. I also have experience handing relocation issues that may arise in relation to a child custody order if a custodial parent wishes to move out-of-state.
