Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to help you make confident decisions.
Family law cases can feel overwhelming. Clear information and a trusted advocate make all the difference.
How quickly can you start on my divorce or custody case?
We begin immediately. Within days of your consultation, we file necessary petitions, negotiate temporary agreements, or prepare for emergency hearings.
Do I have to go to court if we agree on everything?
Not always. Many uncontested matters are completed through filings and virtual hearings. We manage the paperwork to keep the process efficient.
Can support orders be modified after they’re entered?
Yes. Alabama law allows modifications when there’s a substantial change in circumstances. We evaluate income, expenses, and parenting time to pursue the right adjustment.
What if my spouse isn’t following our divorce decree?
We can enforce the order through contempt proceedings, garnishments, and negotiated resolutions. Our goal is to secure compliance with minimal disruption to your family.
