Divorce & Separation
Divorce laws vary widely from state to state. In community property states like California and Texas, marital assets are divided equally. In equitable distribution states like New York, Illinois, or Florida, courts divide assets based on fairness rather than a strict 50/50 split. Knowing which rules apply—and how to navigate them—makes all the difference.
Our attorneys work through every aspect of the process:
- Filing divorce petitions and responses under state statutes (e.g., New York Dom. Rel. Law § 170)
- Handling uncontested divorces or litigating complex, contested matters
- Navigating division of real estate, retirement plans (e.g., QDROs under ERISA), and business assets
- Managing issues of marital debt, tax liability, and spousal maintenance/alimony
- Advising on legal separation, which some states recognize (e.g., North Carolina), while others do not
We also assist with fault-based divorce grounds, where applicable, such as adultery or cruelty, and ensure procedural compliance with residency and waiting period requirements.
Child Custody & Visitation Rights
Custody laws are governed by each state but guided by shared principles like the “best interest of the child” standard. Most states follow the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which prevents conflicting custody orders across states and ensures decisions are made in the child’s home state.
We provide tailored support in areas like:
- Establishing or modifying joint and sole legal/physical custody
- Developing or contesting parenting plans
- Managing interstate custody issues under UCCJEA
- Enforcing court-ordered parenting time
- Addressing parental alienation, relocation requests, or supervised visitation orders
BPA’s attorneys work closely with family courts to advocate for stability, safety, and continued meaningful relationships between children and both parents—when safe and appropriate.
Child Support
Child support isn’t a guessing game: it’s a precise formula determined by state guidelines, often tied to income, custody arrangements, and the needs of the child. If you’re paying or receiving support, having a knowledgeable attorney on your side ensures calculations are accurate and fair.
Enlisting our attorneys can help you:
- Navigate state-specific guidelines (e.g., California Family Code § 4050-4076, or Florida Statutes § 61.30)
- Seek or defend against support modifications due to income changes or medical needs
- Enforce existing orders through wage garnishment or contempt motions
- Address arrears, interest penalties, and retroactive support claims
- Resolve disputes over healthcare coverage, daycare expenses, and education costs
Many states now use income shares models, and our attorneys understand how to present accurate financial disclosures and advocate for realistic outcomes; over and above is simply part of the service you’ll receive when choosing BPA Family Law to fight your corner.
Orders of Protection & Domestic Violence
Every state offers legal protection for victims of domestic violence, but the type of order, filing process, and duration vary. Some states use restraining orders, others issue protective or peace orders. In urgent cases, temporary (ex parte) orders may be granted the same day.
We help clients seek protection under laws like:
- The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) at the federal level
- State statutes such as New York Family Court Act Article 8 or Illinois Domestic Violence Act
- Firearm restriction enforcement (federal and state) for respondents
- Emergency protections involving children, housing, or shared property
If you’re in immediate danger, we act fast. If you’re defending against an unfair accusation, BPA ensures your voice is heard.
Child Abuse & Neglect
Child abuse allegations—true or false—carry life-altering consequences. These cases often involve investigations by Child Protective Services (CPS), which operate under state-specific mandates and federal oversight from the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).
Our attorneys work alongside families to:
- Navigate interviews, home visits, and safety plans
- Respond to emergency removal orders or court petitions
- Present evidence and cross-examine witnesses in juvenile or family court
- Fight for reunification and defend parental rights
- Collaborate with counselors, evaluators, and social workers where needed
We know how emotionally difficult these situations can be. You’ll have a strong advocate with a clear plan, every step of the way.
Modifications of Existing Orders
Life doesn’t stand still. That’s why courts allow changes to child custody, support, or alimony orders when circumstances significantly shift. Modifications are never automatic—but they are possible with the right legal support.
We assist in:
- Filing modification petitions and responding to contested requests
- Demonstrating substantial change in circumstances, as required in most jurisdictions
- Adjusting for parental relocation, changes in employment, remarriage, or school needs
- Updating parenting plans as children age or schedules evolve
- Requesting or opposing downward or upward child support changes
Each state’s threshold for modification is different, and deadlines can be strict. We help you act on time and with the right supporting evidence.
