    • Modifications of child custody: The legal process of adjusting an existing child custody order due to significant changes in circumstances.
  • Child support: Financial payments made by the noncustodial parent to the custodial parent for the cost of raising the child.
    • Modifications of child support: Changes made to an existing child support order, typically due to changes in financial circumstances or needs of the child.

  • Grandparent visitation rights: Legal rights that grandparents may seek through the courts to be able to visit their grandchildren.
  • Guardianship and third-party custody: Legal responsibility for a child by others, not the child’s biological parents. 
  • Contested and uncontested adoption: Cases in which adoption is sought whether challenged by others or not.

  • Arbitration: A dispute resolution method where an independent third party makes a binding decision on those involved.
  • Protective/Restraining orders: Legal orders issued by a court to protect a person from being harmed or harassed by another person. These are commonly used in domestic violence matters.
