Divorce

A Divorce legally dissolves a marriage and releases both parties from the responsibilities of their union. Ensure that you have a trusted attorney on your side to protect your legal rights, represent you in court, and negotiate your custody, visitation, division of property, etc.

Maintenance (Alimony)

Maintenance payments provide ongoing financial support to a spouse after a marriage has been dissolved. Maintenance is sometimes referred to as alimony, and is awarded in addition to child custody. Standards of living can drastically change after separation or divorce, often leaving one of the two parties financially vulnerable.

Order of Filiation

An Order of Filiation is a court order that must be filed if the paternity of a child needs to be legally confirmed. The order can be filed “on consent” or as part of a Paternity Case. The Order of Filiation is essential for establishing parental rights, such as custody, visitation, and child support.

Separation Agreement

A Separation Agreement is a written agreement between you and your spouse, regarding custody, maintenance, the division of marital property, etc. Most separation agreements are established during the time of your separation and actual divorce. However, some are designed to be long-term.

Child Support

Child Support is court ordered payments typically made by non-custodial parents to the custodial parent or guardian, to contribute to their child’s needs. Parents have a legal obligation to financially provide for their children. Who is responsible for Child Support will vary dependent upon income levels, and full, shared, or joint custody. My goal is to ensure that fair and reasonable child support is achieved.

Custody

Custody is the court ordered legal and/or physical right of one parent over the care, control, and maintenance of their child. Establishing conclusive Legal and Physical Custody is required to protect your rights as a parent, and more importantly, the best interest of your child. Custody Orders are legally complex and exceed full, shared, or joint custody, but also pertaining factors such as physical care, supervision, medical care, religious upbringing, and day-to-day physical care. Child Support will vary depending on income and custody levels. My goal is to ensure that both fair and reasonable Custody and Child Support are achieved.

Visitation

Clearly defined Visitation Schedules ensure that both children and parents enjoy quality time with one another. Children are often the ones caught in the middle of a failed marriage, and the Law Office of Sean B. Oster is here to advocate for your child’s best interests. Whether the goal is to gain Visitation or change visitation rights—your child’s well-being is the primary goal.

Prenuptial Agreement

From a legal standpoint, marriage is a legally binding contract made between two adults. As a proactive approach to protecting current assets, future earnings, business ventures, property divisions, parental rights, etc., a prenup is required. Your Prenuptial Agreement will ensure that your expectations are clearly defined, and that your assets and interests are protected.
