- Divorce or Legal Separation – Whether you are looking for an aggressive family law litigator or a skilled, knowledgeable mediator, you can count on our firm for diligent representation. We assist clients with the difficult and emotional processes involved in contested and uncontested divorces.
- Child Custody & Parenting Time – The best interests of the children are paramount in determining custody and parenting time (formerly known as visitation). We encourage our clients to make decisions with an eye towards a peaceful and productive family future.
- Child Support – Statutory calculations are involved in child support cases. Parental income and child-related expenses are factored together to create a final determination; however, disputes can still arise. At Donaldson Stewart, P.C., we work to resolve those issues.
- Adoptions & Termination of Parental Rights – Clients looking to add to their family have benefited from our experience in adoption. Whether you have the biological parent or parents’ consent or are in need of termination of parental rights, we can help you achieve your goals.
- Living Trusts – Living trusts allow you to maintain control of your estate should you become disabled. A living trust may also avoid the need of probate upon your death.
- Wills - Wills are often the simplest type of estate planning, but you may still need an experienced attorney to properly advise you. Essentially, your will tells the court who is to receive your assets, who will serve as a guardian of your minor children, and who will administer your estate.
- Living Wills – Living wills and medical directives give instructions on such issues as life support and medical treatment. Through a Living Will you can communicate your choices regarding your end-of-life care even if you are incapacitated or facing life support.
- Powers of Attorney – A power of attorney is a legal document that designates who will make legally binding decisions on your behalf should you become incapacitated. Whether your power of attorney is general or specific, or whether it is related to your finances or your health care, we will draft a document to fit your needs.
- Business Formation – At our firm, we meet with prospective business owners to identify the type of business that should be formed. From there, we attend to the issues in setting up the business, including articles of organization, document drafting and review and state and federal compliance.
