Child Custody, Timesharing and Support
We approach our cases with sincerity and respect, and we recognize our responsibility not only to our clients, but also to promote and protect the best interests your children.

Divorce
We work with men and women throughout the course of a divorce proceeding. We are here to help you through your divorce and into healing – successfully.

Domestic Violence
Many family law disputes involve violence or the threat of violence, necessitating protection orders. We are experienced at getting their clients the protection from violence they need with orders of protection.

Grandparents Rights
Grandparents may be awarded visitation during or following a court proceeding pertaining to paternity, legal separation, or dissolution of a marriage.

Guardianship and Conservatorship
A guardianship or conservatorship is a legal right given to a person to be responsible for the food, health care, housing, finances and/or other necessities of a person deemed fully or partially incapable of providing these necessities for himself or herself.

Invalid Marriages
Marriages can be declared invalid for a variety of reasons, including whether a party entered into the marriage under duress or based on fraudulent circumstances, or if one party was already legally married at the time of the second marriage.

Legal Separation
The major difference between a legal separation and a divorce is that the parties remain legally married at the end of the case.

Paternity
When an unmarried woman has a child, an official act is needed to establish the legal father of the child.

Post Decree Modification of Custody and Support
The child custody modification action is brought in order to change the parent named as the custodial parent in a parenting plan, who is the parent with whom the children live the majority of the time.

Relationship Agreements
By making relationship agreements before marriage about how property and finances should be divided if the marriage ends, parties can potentially avoid expensive and confrontational divorce litigation.
Post Decree Modification of Custody and Support

Life is constantly in a state of flux, ever-changing. We may suffer the loss of a job, a reduction in benefits or possibly remarry after divorce. Whether the change in your life is personal or financial, the Law Office of Clifton L. Davidson, LLC can offer assistance in having your maintenance or alimony, child custody, visitation or child support decree modified.

A decree establishing maintenance or alimony, child custody, visitation or child support is based on a particular set of circumstances. When those circumstances change substantially, the decree can be changed to make the arrangement more reasonable and in the best interests of your children. In addition, property division arrangements can also be changed if the circumstances justify a modification. The Law Office of Clifton L. Davidson, LLC has the experience needed with the law and with judges to make an effective argument on your behalf informing the court of your changed circumstances.

Child custody modification actions are brought after a final parenting plan order has been entered in a family law case, such as a divorce or paternity action. The child custody modification action is brought in order to change the parent named as the custodial parent in a parenting plan, who is the parent with whom the children live the majority of the time. A change in child custody is a major parenting plan modification and, generally speaking, must be filed as a separate action. Child custody modifications can occur as a result of an agreement between the parents or as a result of a court's determination that a change of custody is in the best interests of the child.

Child support may be periodically adjusted to account for changes in circumstances between the parties in a child support modification action. Child support obligations may be modified based on a number of factors including the age of the child(ren), changes in residential schedule, a child wishing to attend college after high school, or changes in the income of one or both parties.
