Child Custody
Child custody refers to the rights and obligations between parents, regarding their children, after a divorce, legal separation, or paternity decree. There are two independent types of custody. Physical custody refers to the amount of time each parent is permitted physically with a child. This may be sole, primary, or joint custody. Legal custody refers to a parent’s decision-making rights regarding a child’s health, education, and welfare. It, too, may be sole, primary, or joint custody.
Child Support
Regardless of your fight to gain custody of your children, child support will be an issue in your case. You will either be paying it or receiving it. Courts have little discretion in setting the amount of child support to be paid. This is because, as a condition of receiving federal aid, the states are required to follow certain standards in their child support statutes. Although the exact procedures and details vary from state to state, there is a certain basic pattern no matter where you live.
Contempt Proceedings
Contempt can only come into play after a court has issued judgments, orders or decrees to govern the behavior of the parents, which it can do at any point during the divorce proceedings. Once a court has issued such decrees, it is important for you to observe them to the best of your ability and, at the same time, to take note of any potential violations on the part of your ex-wife or former partner. Courts have been known to take it personally when a parent disregards their orders.
Establishing Paternity in a Divorce or Child Support Case
When the parents of a child are not married at the beginning of the pregnancy or at the birth of the child, the father is legally without the rights and responsibilities of a parent. The father, mother, or a third party on behalf of the child, must seek a declaration of paternity to legally establish a parent-child relationship with the father. This process gives the father specific custodial rights while imposing upon him a legal obligation to provide specific financial support for the child.
Legal Separation
(In states where permitted.) Legal Separation is a court process designed to define the important rights and obligations between spouses when they live apart, but do not want divorce. The decree for legal separation establishes rules between the spouses regarding such issues as child custody, visitation, and spousal maintenance (alimony). It also divides property and usually debt. However, unlike divorce, the marital bonds are not severed and the spouses continue to be husband and wife. If, at any time during the legal separation, or thereafter, either spouse believes that the differences between them are irreconcilable, he or she may file a motion to convert to a dissolution of the marriage.
Military Family Law
When a couple decides to end their marriage while one spouse is serving in the military, divorce tends to get more complicated. There are specific rules about where to file for divorce, how to calculate child support, how to determine child custody, how to divide retirement benefits, and more that you need to know. At Cordell & Cordell, we understand the unique challenges military families face during divorce. Our attorneys are able to handle these cases to ensure that your rights and the rights of your children are protected.
Power of Attorney
Sending your child off to college is an exciting experience, but it also brings a lot of stress. As a divorced parent, you have enough to worry about without being concerned about having access to your son or daughter’s educational, medical, financial, and other critical information.
Property Division and Asset Division
Every marriage has at least one topic in common – property. Whether they own a million-dollar mansion or a beat-up RV, a couple will always have to divide up the property and debt. Certain assets remain the exclusive property of one of the marriage partners, even after marriage, and some will be divided. This is done with debts as well. Most debt incurred while married will be shared upon dissolution, though a few personal debts may remain exclusively yours.
Protection Order
Protection orders are unfortunately common in family law cases and are often used for strategic reasons. The misuse of a protection order when going through a divorce is one of the more prevalent and unfortunate trends in family law. A system that was designed to protect against abuse is itself being abused.
Spousal Support, Alimony, Maintenance
In some instances a wife will ask for alimony, the court-ordered payment of money to your wife after the dissolution of marriage. If you made more money (especially if you were the primary breadwinner), there is a good chance your wife will seek alimony. The bigger the difference in earnings and the longer you were married, the larger the alimony payment will be.

When I first spoke to Morgan Rich for my consultation I’d never spoken with an attorney before, I was extremely upset about the situation going on. Within minutes I felt relieved and like I truly had someone willing to go to bat for me with my best interests and most importantly my daughters best interests at heart. This has taken a long time and it’s no fault of Morgans. She’s stuck with me this entire time and it’s finally coming to a resolution that is what I hoped for. I highly recommend Morgan to everyone who is in need of her services and expertise. While I certainly hope I never need to use her again, if I do I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Thank you Morgan. 5 stars doesn’t do her justice

I’m very fortunate the day Morgan Rich was assigned to my case. This journey which has taken almost 2 years of my life has been the most difficult thing I have ever done but Morgan has been there for me every step of the way. I always received accurate and prompt information from Morgan which allowed me to make timely decisions. She had a tremendous ability to quickly assess what was important and didn’t waste anytime advancing my case. She fought vigorously for me and her experience in this field in my opinion is head and shoulders above the rest as I always felt I had the best attorney in the room and I was confident in her abilities to get me the most favorable outcome every time. If I had to relive this experience there is only 1 person I would call and it would be Morgan Rich. She is a tremendous individual and I’m lucky to have her on my side.

Danielle Webb is the BEST! She represented me during my divorce and she always made me feel very supported during a difficult time. She truly listened to my story and gave very sound advice. She really fought for me when I felt totally defeated. I call her my Honey Badger for good reason! She never gave up fighting for me. She held my hand when I needed it and refused to allow me to feel sorry for myself. I knew she had my back!
