What Jennifer Handles
Alabama family law touches the most consequential parts of a person's life: marriage, children, finances, the home. Jennifer's family-law practice covers the matters most clients face when their family situation changes.
Contested Divorce
When spouses can't agree on key issues — property, custody, support, fault — the case becomes contested. Jennifer represents one spouse through negotiation, mediation, and trial when necessary, focused on a clear strategy and an outcome that protects what matters most.
Child Custody & Visitation
Custody decisions in Alabama follow the best-interest-of-the-child standard, weighing factors like stability, parental fitness, and the child's relationships. Jennifer handles initial custody determinations, modifications, and enforcement actions when a court order isn't being followed.
Property Division & Support
Alabama applies equitable distribution — not necessarily equal — to marital property. Jennifer works through asset valuation, retirement and pension division, business interests, and spousal support to build a complete picture of what's fair.
Modifications & Enforcement
Life changes after a divorce. Jobs change, kids grow up, parents move. Custody, support, and visitation orders can be modified when there's a material change in circumstances. Jennifer handles modification petitions and enforcement when the other party isn't following the order.
Family-law cases are rarely about the law alone. They're about your kids, your home, your finances, and how you want the next chapter to look. The legal work is in service of that — not the other way around.
