Whether you have reached a friendly agreement for an uncontested divorce, or you need a solid ally in a high-conflict contested divorce, let the Wirth Law Office Tahlequah attorney’s knowledge and the depth of experience provide you the assurance you need that you have the skills at your side to achieve the best possible outcome.
Child Support
Circumstances change over time. The child support order that once fit, may not fit over time. When that happens, a child support modification may be in order. A Cherokee County child support modification lawyer can provide timely advice and assistance.
Child Custody and Visitation
It’s one of the first questions a person contemplating divorces asks: “What will happen to my children?” As a trusted Tahlequah child custody attorney, my promise to you is to protect your role in your child’s life.
Adoption
Paternity
Guardianship
From the very young to the very old, sometimes a vulnerable person needs help with the everyday tasks of living, handling finances, or managing their other affairs. This is when a guardian may be helpful. The guardian is the person assigned or selected to care for the vulnerable person, usually called a ward. Guardianships are tailored to fit the needs of the ward. A Cherokee County guardianship attorney can help.
Spousal Support
A formal divorce settles all common law marriage issues. It allows you to remarry. Custody and child support are resolved as part of the divorce. Spousal support may be ordered or not as part of the divorce. Finally, a formal divorce can also provide protection for your estate after you die.
Child Abuse
Your children really matter to you. We can’t always control every situation, but when situations unintentionally get out of hand, sometimes Child Protective Services (CPS) steps in without fully investigating. It may be that your child plays loudly and your neighbor mistakes your child’s raucous play for cries for help. Perhaps a sports injury looks suspicious to a teacher, or your child forgot their lunch money for the fifth time and had no lunch. Sometimes, child neglect charges in Oklahoma are the result. Even if not, you still need the help of a caring and experienced Tahlequah attorney.
The violation of a protective order can be intentional or accidental. In either case, the violation can open a person to criminal misdemeanor charges. Future violations of a restraining order can result in felony charges and even prison time.
Drug Crimes
Restraining Order
Temporary orders are often granted on an emergency basis, with only the requesting party and the judge present. For many, the first time they know a restraining order has been entered against them is when they are served with the order.
