When legal concerns affect your family, you want to be sure your rights and your loved ones are protected. You want to explore all your options and come up with a plan that works for everyone involved. At the law offices of Turner, May & Shepherd, we understand that you and your family are going through a difficult time. From divorce proceedings to child support enforcement, we will be there for you every step of the way.

If you are going through a divorce (dissolution of marriage), you may feel overwhelmed by the legal concerns in this time of distress. Because we understand that it is hard enough to deal with the emotional aspects of a divorce, our lawyers will guide you through the divorce process and handle all of your legal concerns:

• Property division: Simple to complex asset & liability division; we will seek or contest a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) to divide retirement benefits, when appropriate.
• Spousal support/alimony: Initial determination, modification, enforcement and contempt.
• Child support: We will ensure all relevant income is accounted for in the support order and can seek deviation from the guidelines when appropriate.
• Child custody: Out of state and interstate custody; parent, stepparent, grandparent and third-party custody.

At Shepherd, May, & Turner, we understand that different families face different challenges. It is our goal to help you meet the challenges of today and plan for the future, no matter what family law concerns you may have:

• Child support enforcement and modification: If your financial situation has changed, your support and custody plan should reflect that. If your co-parent is not making their payments, we can help you pursue support legally.
• Paternity: Our first goal is to help you get answers. Once you understand your situation, we will help you plan for whatever future lies ahead.
• Cohabitation agreements: We help couples draft cohabitation agreements to preserve their understanding of the future ownership of assets.
• Prenuptial agreements: By signing a prenuptial agreement, you can protect your finances and set fair expectations.
• Adoption: In Ohio, all matters of adoption are settled in probate court. We can help you through the entire process.
• Guardianship: Establishing a guardianship is also a matter handled in the Ohio probate court. We can help your family create a guardianship to provide care of a loved one’s estate.
