Is It Possible to Change My Last Name?

You've just gone through a divorce and you want to change your last name. This is absolutely normal. You can change the family name back to the maiden name with relative ease in Brooklyn. However, if you want to speed things up and avoid any possible problems with the paperwork, get in touch with our family attorneys in Brooklyn.

So, What Is a Prenuptial Contract?

Most people have heard about a prenuptial contract, but few of them know exactly what this is. A prenuptial agreement is simply a contract that describes what happens with your assets and other rights in case your spouse dies or if you are involved in a divorce. The prenuptial contract is signed before the marriage, as its name suggests.

But What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?

Many people have heard about postnuptial agreements, even though they are not as widespread as prenuptial contracts. A postnuptial contract is similar to a prenup. It's pretty similar in form as well. The postnuptial contract is signed after the marriage, as opposed to the prenup.

Are Parents The Only People Entitled to Custody?

No, parents are not the only people who can get the custody of a child. Grandparents, aunts and uncles can get custody as well. In some cases, even close family friends can get custody. However, you can run into a lot of problems in family court if you are not the child's parent. This is why we strongly suggest you to contact our family attorneys in Brooklyn and get strong legal representation.

Can I, as a Father, Get Custody?

Why wouldn't you be able to get custody? It would be unfair for the courts to make decisions based on the sex of the parent. You and your spouse have the same legal right to obtain custody of the child. To make sure you win your case, hire our family lawyers in Brooklyn. They have extensive experience in family court.

Can You Please Explain Time-Sharing?

Time-sharing is not difficult, but it can sound like a scary thing. The time-sharing plan is there to describe how much time the child can spend with each parent. Also, you and your spouse will be able to split various activities between yourselves. Raising a child always requires both parents to work together.
