Divorce for Business Owners

Grandparent Rights
Grandparents may need to step in and care for their grandchildren due to tragic or adverse circumstances, Schaffner Family Law is well-versed in grandparents’ rights and protecting the harmony of family relationships and the well-being of grandchildren under Kentucky law.
Child Custody
In child custody cases, it is important to understand that the court’s position is focused on the best interest of the children. Schaffner Family Law has more than a decade of experience in child custody and can help you protect your relationship with your children.
Adoption
Helping a child find stability through adoption is one of the most satisfying things for a parent. Schaffner Family Law takes pride in using their 10-plus years of experience to guide parents through the process of all types of adoption.
Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative divorce allows people to resolve divorce, child custody, child support, maintenance and marital property issues without going to court. At Schaffner Family Law, we can advise you on whether this method of dispute resolution is best suited to your interests.
Uncontested Divorce
Divorce is often contentious and feels overwhelming. It can seem like an impossible task to go to court and come out unscathed—but that’s why we offer another option. If you and your spouse have similar goals, you can settle the issues very effectively by choosing uncontested divorce.
Modifications
Life can change following a divorce or legal separation and when these changes affect the needs of children or the availability of services, Schaffner Family Law can help you make post-divorce modifications to custody, support or maintenance orders.
Paternity
When paternity is not legally established at the birth of a child, the potential for legal challenges in the future is increased. Schaffner Family Law is well-versed in Kentucky paternity law and can help you navigate the potential options for establishing paternity.
Mediation
Mediation in Kentucky is a peaceful solution to your divorce. It allows you and your spouse to work in a negotiation setting to reach a divorce settlement or agreement, rather than letting a judge decide in court. At Schaffner Family Law, we are happy to provide mediation services to divorcing couples and their families.
