Trusted Birmingham, Alabama Family Law Attorneys
Divorce is often the result of a lack of trust or a breakdown in communication. At Gina H. McDonald & Associates, L.L.C., in Birmingham, Alabama, we recognize that trust and communication are as important in an attorney-client relationship as they are in a marriage. Disclosing the highly personal family information required to achieve constructive outcomes in family law matters requires complete confidence in the attorney handling the divorce. We are committed to providing our clients the time and legal resources necessary to effectively handle contested or uncontested divorces.
- Uncontested Divorce - Our lawyers are focused on creating the conditions where people can resolve divorce disputes through mediation and discussion, rather than relying on the courts to make highly personal decisions for families.
- Contested Divorce - Often one or more issues can prevent the amicable resolution of divorce disputes. Our lawyers have significant experience handling divorce litigation. We understand how to frame an argument that places our client's situation in the best possible light.
- Child Custody and Visitation - These are often the most hotly contested matters in a divorce. We strive to create child custody and visitation agreements that are in the best interests of our client's children.
- Child Support - The non-custodial parent is generally required to pay support to the custodial parent. In most cases, the amount paid is statutory.
- Paternity - Issues surrounding paternity are not uncommon in custody cases. Our attorneys work with mothers and presumptive fathers to determine the parentage of children. We also handle paternity matters unrelated to custody disputes.
- Adoption - Our attorneys regularly handle adoptions for people seeking to adopt a spouse's child from a former marriage. This process is commonly referred to as step-parent adoptions.
- Child Support and Custody Modifications - Children's issues often continue long after divorce is finalized. Our firm regularly represents clients seeking modification of child support and child custody agreements.
- Property Division - Our lawyers have significant experience helping clients determine the value of real estate, family owned business, and retirement accounts. We are committed to ensuring our clients receive an equitable distribution of the marital estate.
