Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is an excellent avenue when spouses are able to agree on the best way to bring closure to their marriage. Spouses must agree on every aspect of their divorce, including allocation of all property and debt, custody, parenting time, child support, and maintenance. Kellner Green can assist you in making sound decisions for an uncontested divorce based on your personal circumstances. We can then draw up all documentation to facilitate your divorce without you having to ever see the inside of a courtroom.

At Kellner Green, we have the compassion, integrity, and professionalism to advocate for the best interest of your children.

Maintenance

Kellner Green’s experienced attorneys can help you navigate a maintenance claim or motion for maintenance modification. Unlike child support, maintenance is left in the discretion of the trial court. The trial court uses several statutory factors to set an amount and term of maintenance. Our relationships with appraisers, real estate experts, business valuators, and forensic accountants assist us in achieving the best possible outcome for our clients in maintenance cases.

Child Support

Child support is set by statute and the laws have recently changed. We can assist you in navigating a child support case and ensuring that the needs of your child are met. We can also assist you in understanding what the ramifications of seeking child support may be against a putative father. Sometimes it is necessary to seek enforcement of child support orders and our attorneys can assist you in seeking contempt findings against a non-paying party.

Adoption

Adoption is truly the most happy and fulfilling part of family law. Adoption statutes must be strictly adhered to in order to ensure that an adoption is binding. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge needed to seamlessly assist in the adoption of your loved one. We have assisted clients with private adoptions, adult adoptions, and adoption of foster children. We can ensure that the adoption process is stress free.
