At the Law Office of Richard A. Ruiz, we offer a comprehensive range of family law services designed to address the diverse needs of our clients. With over 20 years of experience, Richard A. Ruiz provides expert guidance and compassionate support in the following areas:
Navigating child custody matters can be complex and emotionally challenging. We work closely with clients to establish fair custody arrangements that prioritize the best interests of the child while addressing the needs and concerns of both parents. Our goal is to ensure that custody decisions are made with careful consideration of the child's well-being and the family's unique circumstances.
Determining child support obligations involves evaluating various factors such as income, expenses, and the child's needs. We assist clients in negotiating and establishing child support arrangements that are fair and in accordance with state guidelines. Our aim is to ensure that the financial support provided meets the needs of the child and supports their overall well-being.
Fathers play a crucial role in their children's lives, and we are dedicated to protecting and advocating for their rights. Whether seeking custody, visitation, or involvement in important decisions, we help fathers assert their legal rights and work towards equitable solutions that benefit both the father and the child.
When a loved one is unable to make decisions for themselves, establishing guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. We guide clients through the legal process of appointing a guardian or conservator to ensure that the individual's needs are met and their best interests are protected.
Establishing paternity is essential for ensuring that a child's legal relationship with their father is recognized. We assist with the legal process of determining paternity, which can affect custody, child support, and inheritance rights, among other matters.
Prenuptial agreements are important for protecting assets and setting expectations before marriage. We help clients draft and negotiate prenuptial agreements that outline financial arrangements and property rights, providing clarity and security for both parties.
Marital agreements, including postnuptial agreements, address financial and legal matters during the marriage. We provide guidance on creating and enforcing these agreements to manage property, debts, and other issues that may arise.
In cases of domestic violence or harassment, obtaining a restraining order can provide crucial protection. We assist clients in seeking restraining orders to ensure their safety and well-being, navigating the legal process to secure the necessary protection.
We are committed to supporting same-sex couples in all aspects of family law, including custody, support, and marital agreements. Our approach ensures that the legal needs and rights of same-sex couples are addressed with sensitivity and expertise.
Grandparents often play a significant role in their grandchildren's lives. We help grandparents seeking custody or visitation rights to ensure that their involvement in their grandchildren's lives is legally recognized and protected.
Establishing visitation rights ensures that non-custodial parents or other family members maintain meaningful relationships with children. We assist in negotiating and formalizing visitation schedules that accommodate the needs of the child and the family.
