Baird, Lisa A Divorce & Family Law Attorney

* Divorce: dissolves your marriage even if your spouse wishes to remain married. There are 2 ways to proceed in resolving your divorce action. If you & your spouse have resolved all children & property issues your case will be uncontested. If you need a judge to resolve one or more issues including child custody, visitation, child support, property distribution or alimony, then your case is contested & will require filing & service of a divorce complaint on your spouse. * Annulment of your purported marriage differs from a divorce in that it determines that it never occurred, allowing you to state that you were never married. * Paternity: action must be filed to establish a father's paternity of a child born out of wedlock and to determine a mother & father's respective rights & obligations regarding their child including child support, custody & visitation. After a divorce or paternity final judgment is granted, either parent may request a change of custody, visitation, child supp ort or other issues affecting his or her children. Former spouses may increase, decrease or terminate alimony obligations ordered.
