Child Support

It is crucial to secure your child's future by assuring that child support obligations are correctly calculated, and your child's needs are met. Just as important is the reality that each parent can afford to meet the child's needs when the child is in that parent's care. Incorrectly calculated child support can place you and your child at risk. At C.Y. Lee Legal Group, our experienced team of attorneys and staff will competently handle these issues for you and assure you that you are receiving or paying the correct amount of child support.

CPS

Nothing is more important to a parent than the safety and comfort of their children. When Child Protective Services (CPS) enters the life of a parent, it is vital to have an experienced CPS attorney by your side to defend you. A CPS investigation can become a devastating and life-altering event if not handled properly. CPS investigations are often based upon allegations of “neglectful supervision,” or even “emotional abuse.” These allegations are very subjective and can easily result in a CPS investigation. It is not uncommon for CPS to investigate allegations of “physical abuse” where abuse has not occurred. A child's safety is always our top priority; call us today.

 

Divorce

The dissolution of a marriage can be a frustrating and a lengthy process, with a number of unforeseen issues that can arise. Hiring the expert legal services of C.Y. Lee Legal Group is the first step toward understanding the process and getting a fresh start. 

​

Protective Orders

If your family or household member claims that you have caused or threatened to cause them harm and will likely do so again in the future, they may ask a court to issue a family violence protective order against you. If granted, this legal mechanism would place various restrictions on you, which could make it hard for you to live your life as you once did. Before a judge decides whether or not to approve the applicant's request, they will listen to both sides of the story. You must attend a hearing to challenge the claims made against you. Having a lawyer on your side during the process can help with presenting a compelling case.

At C.Y. Lee Legal Group, we understand that being served with protective order documents can be frustrating and stressful. You might not know what you need to do to rectify the situation.

 

Prenuptial Agreement

A prenuptial agreement often referred to as a prenup or premarital agreement, is a complicated document. In order for it to be prepared correctly, an attorney must carefully review a variety of information pertaining to assets, including deeds, investment information, and much more. It is also a misunderstood document. Yes, it offers protection of individual assets in case of a divorce, but it also protects each spouse from the other's debts in case of divorce. Additionally, it protects assets even if there is no divorce. At the law firm of C.Y. Lee Legal Group, we put over two decades of experience to create carefully customized prenuptial agreements.
