In Alabama, there are two types of divorces: contested and uncontested. A contested divorce is required when the parties are not able to reach an agreement concerning issues such as possession of real and personal property, child custody and child support. When the parties can reach an agreement regarding these issues, only an uncontested divorce is required. In an uncontested divorce the provisions of the divorce are decided by the parties, not the courts. Whether contested or uncontested, the law firm of Jared N. Lyles, P.C. is prepared to handle your divorce, whatever your specific situation may be.

Child custody is an immediate concern in situations where divorce or separation involves children. We’re here to assist with any child custody issues, from child visitation to legal custody.

• Non-payment or late payment of child support

• Disputes over the amount of child support owed

• Disputes over the calculation of child support

• Modification of child support payments due to a change in financial circumstances of either parent

• Disputes over which parent has the right to claim the child as a dependent for tax purposes

• Claims of a parent receiving child support that the other parent is not using the funds for their intended purpose

• Child support collection against a parent who is not complying with a court-ordered child support arrangement

We have the expertise and experience to help navigate the legal system and ensure that your visitation rights are protected.

If you are considering termination of parental rights, you need an experienced family law attorney to guide you through the process.

Jared N. Lyles, P.C. is one of the few firms in the County that regularly handles matters involving the Department of Human Resources.

Not only is representation important in the initial divorce process, but sometimes it is just as important to be able to enforce previous Court Orders, or modify the previous order of the court when circumstances between you and the other parent have changed. Whatever the family law issue you have, we will handle it with compassion and effectiveness.
