Suits Affecting Parent-Child Relationships | Custody, Visitation, and Support When Parents Are Not Married
When you've had children with a domestic partner, but never married, the termination of the relationship can present a lot of unanswered questions about the children. Who will have custody? What about visitation? Will you have a right to child support as the custodial parent? Though the situation doesn't involve a formal divorce, the laws governing custody, visitation, and support still apply.
At Bailey & Galyen, we've provided effective representation in family law matters for more than four decades, including the representation of parents in suits affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCRs). We built our practice on a commitment to personal service and attention, taking care to learn all aspects of your situation, so we can tailor our counsel to get the outcome you want.
We understand the emotional challenges that come to a family splitting up, so we work hard to be available and accessible whenever you need to talk, and we strive to return all your calls and emails as promptly as possible. We believe that the best results come when we keep you fully involved and informed, so you understand your options and can make educated decisions about how to proceed.
