Adoption- Adopting a child brings happiness to families — but a biological parent's change of heart or an immigration fiasco can turn the joyous occasion into a nightmare. The Law Offices of Clifford Chigbu assist with the complex legal process of adoption so you can feel secure about your childs well-being.

Alimony- Litigating alimony can be expensive and stressful, as both spouses gather financial records and argue their case before a judge. The court considers factors like income, length of marriage, and childcare needs when determining alimony amount and duration.

Child custody and visitation-Deciding child custody and visitation involves creating a parenting plan that prioritizes the childs well-being. Courts consider factors like each parents living situation, work schedule, and ability to care for the child.

-Child support- Child support is a court-ordered financial arrangement ensuring a child receives financial support from both parents. The court uses guidelines considering income, expenses, and childcare costs to determine the amount.

-Child support modification and enforcement- If a parent's financial situation significantly changes, child support payments may need to be adjusted. The court can enforce child support orders through wage garnishments or liens on property if payments are missed.

Divorce- Divorce involves legally dissolving a marriage and resolving issues like property division, spousal support, and child custody. Pre- and post-nuptial agreements- are contracts outlining how these issues will be handled if a divorce occurs.

Juvenile delinquency and dependency proceedings court proceedings address situations where a minor's behavior or home environment threatens their well-being. Delinquency involves status offenses like truancy, while dependency involves neglect or abuse. The court aims to protect the child and potentially rehabilitate the minor or improve the home environment.

Mediation- Mediation: Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third party helps a couple reach agreements on divorce issues like child custody or property division. It can be a more amicable and cost-effective alternative to litigation.
