To ensure a secure future for your children after a divorce, Hughes, Nicholls & O'Hara provides caring legal counsel and advocacy. I can help you with matters including:

• Child support — I will seek an arrangement in which you receive or pay an equitable amount of the financial support required to raise your children in a healthy, happy environment.
• Child custody — I advocate for parenting time to be divided in a way that grants a child stability and safety. I assert client’s parental rights to make decisions about how children are raised.
• Adoption — I assist clients who seek to add children to their families through adoption and step-children adoptions. I handle the legalities of this sometimes frustrating process of terminating parental rights of the absent parent.

In all of these matters, I provide knowledgeable counsel at each step to protect your children’s welfare and your rights as a parent.
