Family Law Practice Areas

Dissolution of Marriage

Divorce can bring significant change, but it also presents an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. While it may feel overwhelming, especially as a parent, this transition can absolutely lead to positive outcomes.

You may not control all facts and circumstances in your case, but you can choose how to respond. At The Law Offices of Jennifer Owens, we believe that you deserve to have the information you need to make good choices. Jennifer will ensure that you understand and appreciate the choices you have in your case, and she will make sure that your priorities are respected.

As a settlement-minded family law firm, we are dedicated to guiding you toward the best possible outcomes for you and your family, turning this challenging time into a pathway for new opportunities.

Child Custody Agreements

Crafting a child custody agreement and visitation schedule can be emotionally difficult for parents and children alike.

Mediation in a neutral but supportive environment is the best way to work out a parenting plan or custody settlement.

Through mediation with the skilled, knowledgeable family law attorneys at The Law Offices of Jennifer Owens, you can reach a custody and visitation arrangement that is beneficial to both parents and their children. By taking everyone’s needs into account as much as possible, you can:

• Find an arrangement that works for both parents and children
• Avoid cultivating anger, resentment, or animosity between parents
• Make adequate time with the children a priority for both parents

Together, we will help you develop the custom-tailored custody and visitation solution that is right for your family.

Post-Judgment Modification

Changing circumstances can significantly impact your family and your legal agreements. Whether you're facing job loss, a change in income, or a new family structure, ensuring your legal agreements reflect your current reality is essential.

We understand the complexities of post-judgment modifications. We can help you pursue modifications to child support orders and parenting plans, ensuring your children's needs and your relationship with them are met, even in the face of unforeseen challenges like a relocation or a change in schedule.

Similarly, if changes in your life or your former spouse's life necessitate adjustments to spousal support (alimony), we can guide you through the process. Our goal is to help you achieve modifications that are fair, equitable, and promote the best interests of everyone involved.
