Our Practice Areas

Few things are more challenging than a legal issue that involves your loved ones. JMH - The Law Office of Joseph M. Harder covers a wide variety of family law practice areas, helping families work through both their most joyous and most difficult moments.

• Child Custody: Whether you're filing for divorce or separation from a partner with whom you share children or need help developing a parenting plan
• Divorce: Divorce is challenging, but the right advocate can help you through it and ensure that your interests are honored and respected throughout the process, so you can move on with your life to a much brighter future.
• Adoption: Adoption is a joyous legal process that can help bring families together. However, meeting the legal requirements for adoption can be mentally taxing and difficult to navigate, so it's important to work with an experienced adoption attorney to expedite the process and ensure it goes smoothly.
• Spousal Support/Alimony: Divorce may cut ties, but in some cases, a spouse may be still financially tied to their former partner. We can help you understand how spousal support requests are made and can help argue for a fair financial settlement to suit your needs.
• Paternity: Establishing legal paternity can be challenging without the help of an attorney who can help you navigate this legal process that is even more essential in the case of a same-sex parent. The legal team at JMH - The Law Office of Joseph M. Harder can help you through.
• Child Support: Whether you're a single parent without help establishing or enforcing a fair child support order, our child support lawyer can help you meet your obligations to your child - and ensure that your former partner does, too.
• Protective Orders: If you are a true victim of domestic violence, our protective order attorney can help you secure the protection you need to feel safe from harm.
• Mediation: Mediation is the practice of resolving family law disputes outside of court. This non-confrontational approach can help family members reach agreeable resolutions to a wide variety of issues, and our family law mediator can help guide you to a solution that is most amenable to your family's best interests.
