The broad range of family law problems we can assist you with include:
Domestic Partnership Agreements – A domestic partnership is a legal contract between two competent adults, whether of opposite sexes or the same sex. The contract defines the parameters of the relationship, the means of support during and after the relationship, asset protection mechanisms, and various protections meant to ensure legal protection for both parties to the contract. We provide caring and capable representation in assisting you to legally establish your domestic partnership.
Emancipation – Emancipation takes place when a child frees himself or herself from parental control. This naturally occurs when the child reaches the age of 18. There are times when it is appropriate for emancipation to occur prior to the minor’s 18th birthday. In such cases, the Law Office of Patricia E. Tichenor, P.L.L.C. can help ensure that the emancipation is handled as it should be.
Prenuptial / Premarital Agreements – Prenuptial agreements help couples start off with a feeling of security and with the added benefit of an open approach to their finances. We are experienced in preparing prenuptial agreements and can draft the right document for any client, regardless of their pre-marital assets.
Modification Proceedings – Many orders incident to a divorce, legal separation, or paternity proceeding are subject to later modification. The Law Office of Patricia E. Tichenor, P.L.L.C. is experienced in all aspects of proceedings for modification of spousal maintenance, child support, custody, visitation, parenting time, and parental responsibilities.
