Adoption:
Rhoades Cunningham & McFadden, PLLC will help guide you through the adoption process. If you haven’t made your final decision and are still considering adopting your stepchild, our lawyers and attorneys are here to help and guide you.

It is important to understand that after the adoption, the “parent” that relinquished their rights will no longer have the ability to seek custody or visitation and will be released from all parental responsibilities, including child support. The adoptive stepparent will then have the absolute right to seek custody and visitation, will also have an obligation to support the child and the child will have the right to inherit from the adoptive stepparent.

When you cannot resolve these issues amicably with your spouse through negotiation, litigation may be necessary.

When you are in the process of dividing marital property, the Court will seek out an “equitable distribution of assets.” This should not be confused with a 50/50 split of assets as equitable does not mean equal. Before you negotiate, it is important to know your rights, options, and potential obligations.

All property acquired by either, or both, spouses during a marriage, and up until the start of the divorce action, is considered marital property. It does not matter whose name the property is in, it will be subject to equitable distribution by the Court if it was acquired during marriage.

Similarly, any debt that was acquired by either or both spouses in that same time, will be considered “marital debt”, and will also be subject to equitable distribution.

You should not risk your financial stability by blindly entering an agreement before knowing your rights. At Rhoades, Cunningham & McFadden, PLLC we will give you strategic legal representation which will focus on protecting your rights and financial interests.

Rhoades Cunningham & McFadden, PLLC has a vibrant and expanding mediation center run by Karen Rhoades, an experienced divorce attorney and trained mediator.

The mediation process allows you to focus on what is beneficial for your family rather than what the law dictates. Most people are not happy with a decision made by a judge who does not know you, your family or your children. Mediation mitigates the need for a judge.

If you think you can amicably agree to certain terms, or the thought of a judge deciding your fate scares you, it may be in your best interest to try mediation. Contact us today to schedule your mediation session.

Uncontested Divorce.

Many people believe that because they have come to a verbal agreement with their spouse their divorce is uncontested. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. For a divorce to be uncontested all issues ancillary to your divorce, including the grounds for your divorce, distribution of your assets, custody, child support, maintenance and fees must be resolved. For these issues to be resolved you must enter into a written agreement, commonly referred to as a separation agreement.

While on its surface, an uncontested divorce may seem simple to handle on your own, it is important to remember this process is still a serious legal issue. If a mistake is made it can draw out the entire process or it can be personally and financially costly. For this reason, it is in your best interest to work with a lawyer. The Law Offices of Rhoades Cunningham & McFadden PLLC will help guide you through each and every aspect of your uncontested divorce.
