Family Law
Lexington, South Carolina: Family Law Firm
The Law Office of Richard J. Breibart, LLC, represents Lexington-area residents in a wide range of family law services. No matter what type of family law dispute you find yourself in, we can handle your case.
Family dynamics are complicated and unique from family to family. Not one of our lawyers can pretend to know what the best possible outcome is for each client. It is important for the client to be involved in the decision making process to ensure a resolution that most accommodates you and your lifestyle.
Our family law attorneys bring to the table their knowledge of South Carolina's family laws and the ability to describe for our clients the very big picture — the way in which one specific decision can have a long-term positive or negative impact on the future lives of our clients and their children.
Contested and Uncontested Divorce in South Carolina
Much of our family law practice focuses on the process of obtaining a divorce in South Carolina — whether through the contested divorce process or the uncontested divorce process.
As part of guiding our clients through the dissolution of their marriages, we help problem-solve and find resolution to the most pressing issues in any divorce: child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support or alimony.
Modifications of Divorce Decrees
The process of getting a divorce decree can be long and difficult. Unfortunately, the final custody and/or support arrangement often needs to be changed over time, reflecting any changed circumstance of either original spouse. If either original spouse wants to modify the final order, the change must be formalized in the court system. Frequently, if one spouse is seeking a change to child custody or child support, the modification can become complicated — both legally and emotionally — and assistance from knowledgeable family law attorneys may be necessary.
Rights of Unmarried Parents
Having a child together creates legal bonds between the parents, even if the parents are not married. The child's mother is legally entitled to child support, and the child's father may be entitled to visitation rights — and in some cases, custody of the child.
Unmarried parents have legal rights and responsibilities, and our experienced lawyers can give you straightforward advice about how to use South Carolina's family laws to create the best possible future for you and the child.
Guardians Ad Litem ∙ Child Abuse and Neglect Cases
Our lead family law attorney, Rebecca West, has built a reputation as a strong advocate for both children and for the family unit. Ms. Jordan has experience serving as guardian ad litem in family law cases — to represent the interests of the child in a legal proceeding.
Also, the Law Office of Richard J. Breibart, LLC, is available to educate and defend parents who find themselves caught up in Department of Social Services cases — fighting to keep custody of their children amid accusations of criminal activity or child neglect.
