Considering Divorce in Alabama?

Alabama requires a minimum 30-day waiting period after filing for divorce before it can be finalized. If you and your spouse agree on all issues, an uncontested divorce can save you time, money, and stress.

If your case is contested, our team will guide you through the discovery process, mediation, and, if necessary, trial, while advocating for your best interests regarding property division, custody, and financial support.

Modifying Custody or Child Support?

Life changes, and sometimes your court orders need to change too. If you have experienced a significant change in circumstances (such as job loss, relocation, or a change in your child's needs), you may be eligible for a modification of custody or child support in Alabama.

We regularly assist clients seeking or opposing modifications and can help you determine the best path forward.

Why Hire a Local Family Law Attorney?

Family law cases are deeply personal, but they also require knowledge of local court procedures and judges. We have experience in Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair County family courts, and we will work to protect your parental rights, financial interests, and your children's well-being.

What Should You Do If You're Considering Divorce or Modification?

✅ Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific situation

✅ Avoid discussing details on social media
✅ Focus on your children's stability and well-being
