Family Law

Reach the right decisions for yourself and your family, with the right attorney

At The Underwood Law Office, we understand that family law matters are emotionally exhausting for everyone involved. Helping distressed families make the transition from a single household to two separate but functional households takes patience, the ability to listen, and most of all, a willingness to be honest with clients from the very start. This means talking to clients in depth about the realities of divorce, including everything from the division of community property and debts to addressing sensitive issues related to parental rights, visitation with children, and children's rights. Different approaches need to be explored and discussed, as well as the outcomes they are likely to provide.

We practice family law in your best interest

We stand ready to take your case to trial, but only if you agree that it is truly the best way to resolve the issues at hand. We look out for the best interests of our clients by implementing and exploring various legal strategies to reach the best possible outcome, including:

Mediation
Settlement Conferences
Temporary Orders Hearings
Protective Orders and Restraining Orders
Litigation

The Underwood Law Office handles all family law matters, including—

Divorce
Property division
Separation
Spousal support
Child support
Child custody
Visitation
Paternity

Post divorce enforcement
Child support enforcement
Visitation enforcement
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)
Establishing parent-child relationship

Appeal

We defend those targeted by unfair Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) mandates

The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act of 1996 is enforced in all 50 states and allows the government the right to take your property to collect child support. The measures used to collect the child support include—

Garnishing wages
Accessing bank accounts
Taking your home or car
Seizure of other personal property

These measures, in our opinion, have simply gotten out of hand. Administrative property seizures often occur without the consent of a judge, and the contractors hired to seize your property are granted immunity from a lawsuit. We provide legal protection from unjust seizures and retaliation against unlawful arrests.
