FAMILY LAW
Anyone considering a lawyer for a family law matter should consult with an attorney trained to deal with the complex issues surrounding various domestic issues.
Family Law is an area of the law that deals with family and domestic relations. It encompasses marriage, adoption, divorce, child custody, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, among other areas in this area of the law.
Experience
Mr. Mitchell has always had a concern for Family and Domestic issues. Long before Attorney Mitchell became a lawyer, he was a Licensed Associate Social Worker (LASW) holding licenses in the District of Columbia and Maryland. His pre-law career experience included individual, group, and family counseling as well as working as a counselor for neglected and abused children, helping those that were diagnosed as mentally ill/mentally retarded, and working as an Assistant Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselor in Austin, Texas. Attorney Mitchell’s combined experience as a Social Worker and a Lawyer makes him uniquely qualified to help you with your Family Law matters. His experience as an attorney includes the following.
Contested Divorces: A divorce is contested when you and your spouse cannot agree on issues in the divorce.
Petition to Increase/Decrease Child Support: You may want to have the court order an increase or decrease in money paid for the benefit of a child because of changed circumstances.
Complaint For Legal Separation: An official court order showing the world you are legally separated.
Marital Separation Agreement: an agreement between the parties that states terms of a separation agreement that is usually not filed with the court.
Civil Protection Orders: A court order that protects you from abuse by a current or former spouse, domestic partner, intimate/dating partner, relative (by blood or marriage/domestic partnership), housemate, someone with whom you have a child in common, or someone who is /was in a relationship with someone who you are now in a relationship.
Mediation: Usually the court will require some form of mediation to try to resolve issue without a trial. Mr. Mitchell has handled many mediation and settlement matters.
Estate Planning also falls under Family Law. If you need matters involving a Will, Power Of Attorney, Healthcare Directives, Living Will, or Trust, for family members or loved ones, these are all areas of the law that our office handles.
