Family Law

Compassionate, Aggressive Family Law Attorney

Family law disputes touch the most intimate areas of your life: your financial security, your personal rights, and your children. When faced with a divorce or other family law conflict, it is important to know your rights and options to determine how to best proceed to minimize the impact on you and your family. At the law office of Stephanie Cañas Hunnell, Attorney at Law, LLC, I provide strategic counsel, compassionate service and aggressive advocacy to protect my clients.

Call 888-335-3584 or contact me by e-mail to schedule a free phone consultation or case evaluation. I am dedicated to your rights and the results of your case.

Divorce Law and Your Rights

People who come to me for help with a family law matter are usually interested in getting a divorce, dissolution or enforcing a Final Judgment of Divorce. Part of my practice as a family law attorney involves developing pre and post nuptial agreements, which are intended to amicably resolve certain issues before you even get a divorce. Whether you have made the decision to file or you have been served with divorce papers, it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible so you understand your rights.

Family Law, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships

I assist individuals that are married, in civil unions or domestic partnerships, divorced, or unmarried who have family related issues, including child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, paternity and equitable distribution. Whether you are recently divorced, entering a civil union, or facing separation, I will take necessary legal action to protect your rights and long-term interests involving property or children.

Fair Settlements

In finalizing a divorce, I work hard to provide you with all the information and advice you need to enter into an equitable and fair settlement agreement. In those instances when settlement is not possible, I work with you to gather all of the information necessary to fight aggressively for your position to gain the best result for you and your family at trial.

Post-Decree Adjustments

Another major aspect of my family law practice is helping people to solve problems not only at the time of the divorce, but also after your divorce is finalized. Just as change happens in the lives of families, change is sometimes also necessary in the terms of divorce:

  • Children may need more support or require less support.
  • Parents who are denied child custody or parenting time can have those rights restored.
  • Parents or grandparents who were originally granted child custody or visitation rights may have those rights altered or removed.
  • Parents may want more time with their children than originally granted.
  • Parents may want to move out of the state.

Adoptions

A special part of my practice includes assisting families adopt children from this country or abroad. I look forward to working with you to help your family grow.
