Attorney Martinez Procures Minor Child to be reunited with Mother!
When a child is “sheltered” by the State, via the Department of Children and Families, and put into foster care, the parents must navigate an endless bureaucracy of red tape for up to a year (sometimes longer) in order for them to be reunited with their child or face the termination of their parental rights.
Don’t Let Your Spouse Financially Strangle You in Your Divorce
Once the divorce is filed, it can take months before obtaining a temporary relief hearing. A temporary relief hearing is where you are advanced-money from the court. The relief typically includes (but is not limited to) temporary alimony/spousal support, child support and/or attorneys’ fees. In other words, money you need to live on while you get divorced. To get such a hearing, you have to complete certain financial discovery and get a hearing before a judge; all of that takes time and money. Some courts even require mediation before having a temporary relief hearing.
Is Your Spouse Lying About Their Income?
One spouse suddenly stop’s working overtime, their business isn’t doing as well, or they “lose” their job. Other times, the breadwinner attempts to retire early, or one spouse claims they are “disabled” and can’t work. These (usually) bogus tactics are geared toward one spouse lowering their income to avoid paying the financial support the other rightfully deserves.
Why Are So Many People Entrusting Their Family Law Cases to MLG?
