Family Law, Southern Oregon

Practice Areas

At Southern Oregon Family Law, LLC, we provide the following legal services.

Mediation & Arbitration

Oregon Courts encourage parties to mediate their disagreements in family law cases, allowing parties greater control over their case and the results.  Southern Oregon Family Law approaches mediation with the same level of knowledge, compassion and excellence as it employs in other cases, offering the following services:  Advice on legal aspects of a case; Accompanying you to your mediation and providing analysis of deals presented; or Acting as a court-appointed mediator or arbitrator.

Adoption & Family Creation

Creating a family through adoption, surrogacy or assisted reproductive technologies ("ART") is exciting, but complex.  Southern Oregon Family Law is here to assist you on your journey by providing counsel, review and drafting of both necessary documents and advocacy.  

Divorce

Divorce can be a frightening and lonely experience.  Southern Oregon Family Law is here to help navigate the closing of one chapter of your life, while guiding and supporting you to the start of your next chapter. 

Child Support, Custody & Parenting Time

Southern Oregon Family Law is here to help you protect the "best interests" of your children, offering counsel and advocacy in enforcing your rights as a parent, negotiating parenting-time or visitation, and ensuring child support is fair to both you and your child(ren).

Spousal Support

Southern Oregon Family Law's goal is to ensure its clients exit their marriage in a financially secure position, allowing for a secure and (as much as possible) stress-free start to their next phase in life following a divorce. 

Modifications

Agreements regarding support, custody and/or parenting time/visitation are constructed at specific times in a person's life and although appropriate at the time of execution, circumstances in life change.  Southern Oregon Family Law is here to provide counsel and advocacy in navigating your options in the fact of change.

Adult Guardianships & Conservatorships

Sometimes a family member such as an adult child, spouse, parent or other relative can no longer make decisions for themselves regarding their health, safety or finances.  In such instances, a full or partial Guardianship and/or Conservatorship may be necessary.  Southern Oregon Family Law provides counsel and advocacy to protect your family and ensure the safety, health and best interests of its loved ones.

Premarital & Postmarital Agreements

Southern Oregon Family Law is here to help couples make proactive decisions regarding the disposition of assets, debts, and other financial matters in the event of divorce, separation, or death of one spouse through Premarital Agreements.  We can also handle Postnuptial agreements to address circumstances that arise during a marriage.

Estate Planning

A recent survey indicates that over 60 percent of Americans do not have an estate plan.  While estate planning is a difficult topic to discuss, proactive planning protects the important people in your life and provides peace-of-mind that not only will you be protected at vulnerable times in life, but also your assets and affairs will be appropriately handled after your passing.
