Our Services
Divorce
-
Divorce is the legal process that terminates a marriage, addressing the division of assets, spousal support, and, if applicable, child custody and child support.
-
Divorce can be emotionally challenging, and it is crucial for individuals to have experienced legal representation to ensure their rights are protected throughout the process.
-
Factors such as the length of the marriage, income, and the well-being of children play a significant role in the court's decisions.
-
Whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, divorce attorneys help clients navigate these complex matters and achieve fair outcomes.
Child Custody
-
Child Custody refers to the legal arrangement regarding the care, control, and visitation of a child following the separation or divorce of their parents. It involves decisions about where the child will live, which parent will make important decisions about their upbringing, and the time each parent will spend with the child.
-
Custody arrangements can be joint, where both parents share responsibilities, or sole, where one parent has primary responsibility.
-
The court's primary focus is always the best interests of the child, considering factors like the child’s age, health, emotional ties, and the parents' ability to care for them.
-
Skilled legal representation is essential to help protect your parental rights and ensure the child’s well-being.
Enforcements
-
Enforcement refers to the legal process of ensuring compliance with court orders, such as child support, custody, or visitation agreements.
-
If a parent fails to follow the court’s orders, enforcement actions may be taken, including wage garnishment, property liens, or even contempt of court charges.
-
These measures help protect the rights of the affected party and ensure that the court’s decisions are upheld.
-
An experienced attorney can assist in navigating the enforcement process to ensure that court orders are properly followed.
Child Support
-
Child Support is a financial payment made by one parent to assist in covering the costs of raising a child after separation or divorce.
-
It is typically based on factors like the parents' incomes and the child’s needs.
-
Child support helps cover expenses such as housing, food, education, and healthcare.
-
Courts establish child support orders to ensure both parents contribute to the child’s well-being.
-
Legal representation can help ensure fair arrangements and enforce support obligations.

What should I do immediately after an injury?The first thing you should do is seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. This ensures your health is prioritized and provides important documentation for your case. Then, contact a personal injury lawyer at David Sheves Law to discuss your options.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a personal injury case. Common cases include car accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, and medical malpractice. An experienced attorney from our firm can evaluate the details of your situation to determine if you have a case.
-
What compensation can I receive for my personal injury?Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
