Have you ever reached a point where you're uncertain about what to do in a marriage or relationship, especially when children are involved? Has your relationship evolved into a complex "situationship”, with the added consideration of kids? Do you find yourself stuck in "analysis paralysis" regarding the next steps to take?
At Sims & Purzer, our attorneys are here to assist you. While we are counselors in the legal sense, we are not counselors in the traditional sense (i.e. therapists, guidance counselors, etc.). We may not be able to unravel the "whys" behind your situation, but we can provide clear guidance on your options moving forward. Rest assured, you do have choices, and we're here to help clarify them for you.
When your spouse or significant other has moved out, and their contribution to the household income has stopped, it makes things difficult financially. In these situations, it's important to remember that you do have options. And our attorneys can provide you with those options.
Perhaps you're uncertain about pursuing a divorce. There are lots of reasons why you might not want to do something that seems so "drastic" or "final." Our attorneys can guide you to the middle ground, where you can protect yourself, your kids, and your partner without feeling like you're throwing in the towel on the relationship.
It's important to note that even married couples can obtain orders that establish custody and child support without necessarily filing for divorce. There are various ways to approach this if you plan on separating but also seek protection. At Sims & Purzer, whether you're contemplating separation or simply need legal protection, our attorneys can outline the steps and strategize with you.
Is your baby mama or baby daddy now saying that you can’t see your babies? Remember, as a mother or father, you have rights to access just like the other parent. Things might have been smooth until the other parent started a new relationship, and now they're changing the routine, or they want more involvement out of the blue. It's not uncommon. At Sims & Purzer, we are here to help you find the best way to handle these changes.
Asking for child support is not an admission to the world that you can’t do it yourself. It’s you recognizing the fact that parenting is a shared responsibility. By requesting support and shared custody through the courts, you are affirming to everyone — the world, the court, your partner or ex-partner, and yourself — that each parent should contribute to the upbringing of their children. Custody, visitation, and child support should not be about the parents. Those things are for the kids’ well-being. When you have children, their needs always come first. Here at Sims & Purzer, we put your kids first, while keeping your wishes in mind. Let us help you find your best version of a “new normal”. Book a consultation today!
