We Provide Legal Representation For:

Divorce

If you are considering divorce or have already been served with legal documents, give us a call immediately for a consultation. We can discuss the issues specific to your situation and review various options and procedures involved to resolve it while protecting your interests.

Termination of Parental Rights

Parents, children and courts can terminate a parent-child relationship, but only a court can legally terminate a parent’s parental rights. The most common reasons for involuntary termination include severe or chronic abuse, abandonment, long-term mental illness or deficiency of the parent(s), and failure to support or maintain contact with the child, among many other reasons. Termination of parental rights is taken very seriously by courts, sometimes, being referred to as “a civil death penalty.” Minden Lawyers will help you analyze your circumstances and will honestly advise you.

Child Custody & Support

Child custody is a critically important complicated matter and is directly impacted by many and various factual situations. It is important to remember that courts are required to rule in the best interest of the child, not the parents. If you have been served legal documentation, it is imperative that you call us right away to schedule an initial consultation. Time is of the essence in these cases. It is usually easier to obtain a favorable order at the onset than it is to “fix” an unfavorable order.

Property Settlement

A property settlement is a process of dividing up assets and debts between divorcing spouses. A common misconception is that everything is split perfectly 50/50, but that is rarely the case. An equal division of assets may be appropriate in some cases, but not all. Each case has its unique aspects. For example, property acquired during marriage may or may not be community. If not, it may be excluded from the division process.
