Family & Guardianship Areas

Divorce can be a deeply emotional and legally complex process. Advent Legal provides LAR services at various stages, from filing petitions to negotiating settlements, mediation representation, pre-trial representation, trial representation and more. We provide focused support to guide clients through the complexities of divorce, ensuring their rights are protected and vigorously advocated for.

Custody disputes are some of the most sensitive family law matters, requiring strategic planning to secure the best outcome.  Through LAR, we assist with drafting parenting plans, negotiating custody arrangements, and preparing for court hearings, as well as ensuring that parents remain actively informed during the period of Advent Legal representation. 

Child support cases often involve complex calculations and legal requirements. We offer LAR services to help clients calculate proper support amounts, prepare petitions, and present their case effectively in court. By focusing our assistance on the critical areas, we help reduce costs while ensuring that the financial needs of both the child and the parents are met.

Establishing or contesting paternity is a vital step in securing parental rights and responsibilities. Our team provides LAR services to assist with paternity claims, DNA testing requests, and court representation, helping clients navigate these sensitive matters with expert guidance while allowing them to remain actively engaged in their case.

In cases involving domestic violence, securing a restraining order may be necessary for protection. We offer services to help clients file for or defend against restraining orders, ensuring that they are properly guided through the legal process while feeling safe and supported.

Dividing marital property during a divorce can become contentious, especially when significant assets are involved. Our LAR services help with negotiating settlements and drafting equitable agreements, ensuring that your financial interests are protected while keeping legal expenses down.

Life changes or urgent situations often require modifications to existing child custody, child support, or spousal support agreements, or the implementation of temporary orders to address immediate concerns. At Advent Legal, we provide LAR services to assist clients in drafting motions, preparing for hearings, and navigating the legal process efficiently, whether they are seeking or contesting modifications or temporary orders. Our targeted support ensures that clients can respond quickly to changing circumstances while protecting their rights and interests.

Guardianship and conservatorship matters require careful legal navigation to protect the well-being and financial security of vulnerable individuals. Advent Legal provides LAR services to help families establish or challenge guardianship and conservatorship appointments, ensuring that loved ones receive the proper care and oversight. Whether it’s navigating court proceedings or preparing legal documents, we provide compassionate guidance to ensure the best outcome for your family.

Adoption is a life-changing decision, often involving complex legal requirements and emotional challenges. At Advent Legal, we offer LAR services to assist clients through various stages of the adoption process, from filing necessary petitions to navigating home studies and court hearings. Our targeted support helps families manage the aspects of adoption they feel comfortable handling, while ensuring that all legal procedures are followed properly and efficiently, safeguarding both the rights of the adoptive parents and the child.
