Family Law Services at Faulkner Law Firm, LLC
Our firm handles a variety of family law matters, including but not limited to:
Child Custody and Visitation
We understand that the well-being of your children is paramount. Our legal team will advocate for your child’s best interests while upholding your parental rights. We can assist with initial custody determinations, modifications of existing orders, and interstate custody disputes.
Divorce and Separation
Divorce is a difficult emotional and legal transition. Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, we will work to protect your interests and help you achieve a fair resolution regarding property division, alimony, and other critical matters.
Child Support
We help establish fair and equitable child support orders based on South Carolina guidelines. We also represent clients in child support modification cases when circumstances change, such as an income change or a change in their child’s needs.
Alimony
The court may award spousal support to ensure financial stability for a spouse after a divorce. We represent clients seeking or opposing alimony awards. We understand the factors courts consider when determining alimony, such as the length of the marriage, the parties’ earning capacities, and the standard of living during the marriage.
Property and Asset Division
South Carolina follows equitable distribution laws, which means that the court divides marital assets fairly, though not necessarily equally. We have extensive experience in valuing and dividing marital assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and personal property. Our goal is to ensure your marital estate is divided fairly and equitably. If you’re also concerned about probate and estate planning matters that may affect the division of assets, our team is here to help.
Adoption
Expanding your family through adoption is an exciting journey but comes with legal complexities. We handle various types of adoptions, including stepparent, relative, and agency adoptions.
Paternity Actions
Establishing paternity is essential for protecting parental rights and securing child support obligations. Our firm represents mothers and fathers in paternity cases, ensuring the proper establishment of parental rights and responsibilities under the law.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect your assets and define your financial rights and obligations in the event of divorce. These agreements provide peace of mind and help avoid costly litigation in the future.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
If you are facing domestic violence or need to obtain a protective order for your safety, we can help you seek the legal protection you and your children need. Likewise, if you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, our Rock Hill family law lawyers can defend your rights and help you navigate the legal system.
