Family Law
- Modification of orders : Court orders remain in effect unless you take legal action to change them. Call us if you need to modify your child support, child custody or spousal support (alimony) because of substantial changes in your circumstances.
- Parent or child relocation: Don't pick up and move with the kids without first discussing your plans with an attorney who can give you authoritative advice on your rights and options. If you or your children's other parent already lives out of state or abroad Mr. Bedor can assist you in dealing with the proposed modification of an Oregon judgment. If you have questions about which court has jurisdiction over your parenting order, Mr. Bedor can assist you with those as well.
- Restraining orders: We use the law both to protect victims of domestic violence and to defend the rights of those who are unjustly accused.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: When there is a large disparity in income or when complex estates are involved, these marital agreements can clarify the situation.
- Domestic partnerships: We can advise you about the law and set up the legal framework to give unmarried and same-sex couples many of the same legal rights as married couples. Know how domestic partnership law affects you before seeking benefits for someone you live with.
- Legal separation: We help you resolve all issues, from property division to child custody and support issues.
- Adoption, including stepparent adoption: We prepare the legal groundwork for uniting your family through adoption of your spouse's children from another relationship.
- Paternity: We represent both fathers and mothers in establishing or challenging claims of parentage.
- Alternative dispute resolution/mediation: These alternatives to litigation can help couples avoid the time and expense of court.
- Estate planning: We help individuals and families write effective wills and create trust agreements. When circumstances change - divorce, the birth or adoption of a child, the establishment of a domestic partnership — we also help clients revise their estate plans.
