Mediation
Report
Often both parties wish to avoid litigation, but they need the guidance of an experienced attorney who will act as a "neutral" professional to assist them with reaching solutions that are acceptable to both of them. Parties may not be forced into mediation - both parties must agree to this as an alternative to litigation.
Expertise
Report
The lawyers at Ford Family Law, A.P.C. regularly consult on pre-nuptials agreements and with parties who are engaged in voluntary mediation. Please contact us for more information. We have litigated all types of family law disputes, including complex business valuation and property division, child custody, spousal support, paternity, and international move-aways.
Marital Dissolution
Report
A Judgment for Marital Dissolution is the legal termination of a marriage and as a result, the termination of certain rights and responsibilities. One leading example of a lost right is the right to maintain a spouse on one's health insurance. Once divorced, an employed spouse can no longer legally maintain his or her former spouse on an employer-sponsored insurance plan.
Paternity
Report
A paternity action is required to legally recognize parental rights of unmarried persons, to establish enforceable custody and visitation schedules, and to ensure that a child receives financial support from both parents. Without a Judgment of Paternity or a Declaration of Paternity, a person may permanently lose any legal standing as a child's parent and/or a child may go without support.
