    Adopting a child brings happiness to families, but when something goes wrong, there is a chance of substantial heartache. Cassady & Cassady LLP assists families with the complex legal process of adoption, so you can feel secure about your child’s future well-being.

    Alimony

    Divorce is difficult, but it should not lead to a financial crisis. The attorneys at Cassady & Cassady LLP help you establish fair and equitable spousal support so you can continue to live as comfortably as you did before your marriage ended.

    Child custody and visitation

    For every parent, child custody is the most heart-wrenching aspect of divorce. Our divorce attorneys advocate for your parental rights so you can raise your children in an appropriate and healthy home.

    Child support

    Both parents share the responsibility of raising a child. At Cassady & Cassady LLP our attorneys help ensure your child receives the financial support required for a healthy, happy upbringing.

    Child support modification and enforcement

    Child support payments remain the same unless the court modifies the child support order. If either parent experiences a significant change in financial circumstances, our attorneys can guide you through the proper legal procedures to modify your child support payments accordingly.

    Divorce

    Throughout your divorce, our attorneys stand by you. We accompany you through mediation or litigation, depending on which is likely to obtain the best possible results for you — including fair distribution of assets, division of the marital home, child support payments and child custody rights.

    Juvenile delinquency and dependency proceedings

    When Alabama authorities interfere with your parental rights, you need a compassionate advocate who understands the bureaucratic red tape. Cassady & Cassady LLP is skilled at maneuvering through the complex laws of Alabama to protect your parental rights.

    Mediation

    Mediation puts the decisions in your hands and can often provide more expedient, predictable results than a trial. The skilled negotiators at Cassady & Cassady LLP can help you obtain the most favorable divorce settlement using mediation.

    Pre- and post-nuptial agreements

    When you marry your beloved, you may not foresee the potential problems that can eventually lead to divorce. The lawyers at Cassady & Cassady LLP expect the unexpected and draft premarital agreements that protect both spouses’ interests and that can alleviate some of the stress should you ever divorce.

    The process of probate

    Our attorneys assist executors with the arduous process of collecting, managing, valuing, protecting and liquidating the assets of the estate. Cassady & Cassady is available to assist in every aspect of estate probate. When appropriate, the firm calls upon accountants, financial advisors, real estate agents, property managers and other professionals to assist with executor duties. We can access expert opinions about unique assets such as antiques, rare books, automobiles and other collectables for accurate valuation, management and possible sale.

    Probate disputes

    Even in apparently straightforward estate cases, there are sometimes disputes between beneficiaries. Our attorneys’ professional courtroom presence can calm the emotionally-charged process of probating a challenged will or disputed executor or judicial decision. When it is in the best interests of our client to preserve cordial familial relationships, our attorneys are adept at mediating these disputes. When necessary, we assertively defend our client’s beneficiary rights within the Alabama probate court.
