Services we offer
Divorce
Divorce is ranked as one of the top 5 most stressful things a person will experience in a lifetime. At Leggett Legal, our approach is to get you everything you are legally entitled to. Sometimes that means settling out of court and sometimes that may mean fighting in court. No matter what direction your case takes, we will be there with you every step of the way and get you through the process.
Family Offense/Order of Protection
Were you involved in a family offense or has an order of protection been filed in your case? An incident can proceed in family court, criminal court or both. These types of cases involve sensitive matters with the closest people in your life. There are many options and support resources to resolve these delicate family matters. Let us help guide you through the legal system and get your case resolved.
Custody
Are you having trouble getting parenting time with your child? Is an unfit parent demanding more time? Call Leggett Legal for a free consultation and we can discuss your rights, your child's rights and the rights of the other parent.
Prenuptial Agreement
There is often confusion around the purpose and goal of a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement is a contract that can provide financial security for both parties. It does not have to be something that is thought of negatively. It is your agreement and can be written according to whatever terms you and your future spouse agree upon. We provide creative options that can help both parties feel less anxiety about this important document.
Cohabitation Agreement
Are you planning to move in with your partner or a roommate? It's always better to be prepared and protect your interests in the event of a future disagreement. That's why you should consider getting a cohabitation agreement.
A cohabitation agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each person living together. It covers important aspects such as property ownership, financial obligations, and even the division of household chores.
Why should you get a cohabitation agreement? Here are a few reasons:
Protect your assets: If you own property or have significant savings, a cohabitation agreement can ensure that they remain yours in the event of a breakup.
Clarify financial responsibilities: A cohabitation agreement can clearly define each person's financial responsibilities, including rent, bills, and other expenses.
Avoid conflicts: By setting clear expectations and guidelines for your living arrangement, a cohabitation agreement can help prevent disagreements and misunderstandings.
Plan for the future: If you and your partner plan to get married or start a family in the future, a cohabitation agreement can help lay the groundwork for a successful future together.
Don't leave your future to chance. Contact us today to learn more about how a cohabitation agreement can protect your interests and give you peace of mind.
Child Support
Every child has a right to be supported by both parents. If one parent is not fulfilling that responsibility a petition may need to be filed in court. Sometimes, there are events that happen in a person's life that necessitate the amount of child support be increased or lowered. Give us a call and we will give you a fair assessment of your personal situation.
Wills & Trusts
Wills are not something many people like to think about. After all, it is not fun to think about death, especially your own. Think of your will as something you are doing for your loved ones. In addition to your will, you should also consider: 1) a living will, which designates if you want certain life sustaining treatments, like life support, 2) a healthcare proxy, which allows you to choose who will make your medical decisions if you are incapacitated and 3) a power of attorney, in the event you need someone to handle your personal/financial affairs. These documents can communicate many important decisions to your loved ones.
Want to avoid probate? A trust is a tool you can use to control your assets during life and avoid probate upon your passing. Let us help you explore all the options in your estate plan. We can keep it simple or put together more complex solutions.
