The Law Office of Stephenson Peterkin LLC is prepared to help with a full range of family law issues, including: - Divorce/ Dissolution of Marriage: Your rights will be protected during this complicated legal, financial, and emotional process. It is important when making decisions about divorce that you consult with an attorney who understands the tax consequences of every element of the final settlement.
- Child Support: Connecticut's Child Support Guidelines mandates that the incomes and responsibilities of both parents, along with the needs of the child be considered. However, the Court will depart from these guidelines when they would result in an unfair or inadequate payment schedule.
- Alimony: Spousal support is sometimes granted in the form of temporary alimony during the process of divorce or while a homemaker acquires the education or skills to make a suitable income.
- Child Custody: You will receive help to work out an arrangement for joint or sole custody that is in the best interest of your child, including provisions for the child's primary residence and the arrangement for major decisions (legal custody).
- Visitation / Parenting Time: The Court assumes it is important for a child to maintain a strong relationship with both parents. Your parental rights will be safeguarded. The goal is to help you maximize the quality and length of visits with your children whether you are unmarried or a divorced non-custodial parent.
Modification of Decree: You may qualify for a modification if your circumstances have changed substantially since your divorce or custody agreement was ordered. I will help you apply for a modification of custody, visitation, and support.
