Our Family Law Services in Woods Cross
Family law issues can affect your daily life and the people you care about most. We explain each step in plain, direct terms and work with you to move your case forward at a pace that makes sense. Here are some of the ways we help families in Woods Cross:
Divorce
Whether your divorce is contested or amicable, we prepare filings, address property and debt division, and help you work through child-related issues when needed. We’ll stand up for your interests in mediation or in court.
Child Custody & Support
Custody and support arrangements shape a child’s daily life. We help create parenting plans that fit real schedules and explain how support is calculated. We keep your child’s well-being at the center of every step.
Establishing Paternity
If legal paternity has not yet been established, we guide you through each required step. We handle filings, coordinate testing when needed, and make sure your parental rights are recognized and upheld.
Protective Orders
If you or your children need immediate protection, time matters. We act quickly to request temporary and long-term protective orders, and we can seek related custody or support orders when appropriate.
Finalizing an Adoption
Private, kinship, and step-parent adoptions each come with detailed procedures. We handle the legal filings and appear with you in court so the process stays on track while your family grows.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
When someone needs assistance managing their personal or financial decisions, legal guardianship can provide stability. We guide you through the filings, evidence gathering, and hearings required by the court.
Contempt & Enforcement
When court orders are ignored, such as unpaid support or denied parent-time, we work to regain your rights. We file enforcement actions and work toward solutions that restore compliance.
Decree Modifications
Life can change quickly. If new circumstances require updating your custody, support, or alimony arrangement, we’ll help request updates and present your situation clearly to the court.
Our Step-by-Step Process
At Henriksen Law, we follow a steady, organized approach so your case keeps moving forward. You’ll always know what we’re working on and what comes next.
Step 1
Consultation and Planning
We start with a free consultation to understand your situation and your goals. From there, we outline your options and develop a plan for moving forward.
Step 2
Preparing and Filing Documents
We handle all required petitions, responses, disclosures, and motions. Our legal team manages the paperwork and filing deadlines, so nothing is missed.
Step 3
Serving the Other Party
Legal documents must be delivered in a specific way. We coordinate service, file proof with the court, and keep you informed as each requirement is completed.
Step 4
Temporary Orders and Discovery
If immediate decisions are needed, we request temporary orders. We also review financial records, communication, and other information to prepare your case.
Step 5
Mediation and Agreements
Most family law cases involve mediation. We help you prepare, clarify priorities, and work toward agreements that can be finalized and approved by the court.
Step 6
Court Hearings, When Necessary
If mediation does not resolve everything, we represent you in court. We organize evidence, present your position clearly, and continue working toward a fair outcome.
