What is Family Law?

Family law is a broad legal field that addresses issues involving family relationships, marriage, and children. It encompasses everything from divorce and child custody to adoption and guardianship. Unlike other areas of law that may focus solely on financial or business interests, family law directly impacts people’s personal lives and futures.

The goal of family law is to resolve conflicts in a fair manner while protecting the best interests of children and ensuring that spouses or other family members receive equitable treatment. Because these cases often involve strong emotions and life-changing decisions, having a skilled attorney by your side is critical.

Our Norman family lawyer can help you:

• Understand your rights and responsibilities under Oklahoma law.
• Negotiate fair settlements for divorce, custody, and support issues.
• Represent you in court when disputes cannot be resolved through mediation.
• Draft and review important legal documents such as parenting plans, prenuptial agreements, and adoption petitions.

Common Aspects of Family Law

Family law covers a wide range of issues. At Schumacher Law Group, we assist clients in Norman, OK with many different family-related legal matters, including:

Divorce

Divorce is one of the most common family law cases. Oklahoma allows both no-fault and fault-based divorces. Property division, spousal support (alimony), and custody arrangements often make divorce cases complex. We help our clients pursue fair outcomes while minimizing stress.

Child Custody and Visitation

When parents separate, determining custody and visitation is often the most sensitive part of the process. Courts in Oklahoma make decisions based on the child’s best interests. Our attorneys advocate for parenting plans that support healthy parent-child relationships while protecting your rights as a parent.

Child Support

Child support ensures that children’s needs are met even when parents live apart. Oklahoma law uses income-based guidelines to calculate child support obligations. We assist parents with establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders.

Alimony (Spousal Support)

Alimony may be awarded when one spouse needs financial assistance after divorce. Factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income, and future earning capacity are considered. Our firm can help you pursue or contest alimony depending on your situation.

Property Division

Oklahoma follows an “equitable distribution” rule, which means marital property is divided fairly, though not always equally. We work to protect your financial interests and ensure that property division reflects your contributions to the marriage.

Adoption

Adoption is a joyful but legally detailed process. Whether you are adopting a stepchild, relative, or through an agency, our attorneys guide you through the requirements so your adoption is legally secure.

Guardianship

When parents are unable to care for their children, guardianship may be necessary. Our firm assists with both temporary and permanent guardianship cases to ensure children are placed in safe and supportive environments.
