PRACTICE

AREAS

Divorce

It can be a confusing and difficult time when a marriage is ending. Our office strives to make the transition easier for you and your family.

Appeals

There are times when a Court may make an error and you will need to appeal their decision. Our office can assist you in filing an appeal in relation to a Custody, Adoption, Division of Assets and Debts and other Family Law orders.

Adoption

An adoption in Indiana requires a lot of steps and paperwork. Attorney Jameson knows the ins and outs of the Indiana adoption statute.

Modification of Orders/Agreements

An order needs modification when circumstances have changed which makes a current order no longer in your child's best interest or financial circumstances have changed.

Guardianship & Third Party Custody of Minors

Caring for and spending time with your loves ones is important. Making sure you get the time needed with them is where our office comes in.

Paternity

Even if you have a signed paternity affidavit or a father is named on a birth certificate, you must obtain a court order on parenting time, custody, and child support to legally establish these matters. We can assist you in getting legal and proper orders on these issues.

Prenups & Postnups

Prenuptial and Postnupital Agreements are valuable financial tools to not just the individual but to the marriage. Attorney Jameson can assist you in outlining assets, debts, and other items before or after the marriage and how it will be handled should a divorce be on the horizon.

CPS & CHINS

When CPS (child protective services) becomes involved in your life and determines your child(ren) need to be considered "CHINS" (Child in Need of Services) it is a scary time. We are here to help you keep your family together and navigate this difficult process. This area of law also includes termination of parental rights.

OUR

BELIEF

We believe when a client hires us to help them, they are also telling us they trust us with a very delicate part of their life. We believe in compassion and patience with a client, as they are experiencing a difficult time in their lives.

We believe in communication with our clients. Our office will never waste a client's time or money if we do not believe they have a case, if they will not be able to achieve their desired goals, or even refer them to another attorney who may better handle the issues they discussed with us. We truly believe in putting the client and their goals first.

We will always communicate with our clients on:

If they actually have a case which they would prevail on;
If there is a case, how their case will move through the legal system;
How to be cost effective during their case;
How to properly prepare for and handle certain issues that may arise during their case;
What may be needed to possibly achieve their goals for their case.
