Parents aren't the only ones who can file for visitation rights -- siblings, half siblings, and grandparents also have the right to "frequent and meaningful visitation," so long as they have "legal standing" to file for it, and it's in the child's best interest.

Whether you're a parent or relative, you have the right to see your loved ones. Contact us to see if you have "legal standing" to file for visitation if you are not the legal parent.

If both you and your spouse want to get divorced, and can agree to what will happen with your children, finances, and property, your divorce will be considered "uncontested."

Contested divorces are much more complicated and expensive because it involves spouses who disagree on several issues within their divorce, including the children or the finances.

Ever wondered how long legal separation can last?

There are many reasons to have a legal separation. No matter your circumstances, you and your partner can be legally separated for however long you think is best -- whether that's a few months or a few decades. But if you plan on using your separation agreement as the basis for a divorce in the future, you and your spouse must have been living apart for at least one year. https://bit.ly/35ScuTy
