OUR SERVICES
Family Law1. How do I file for divorce in Arkansas?
Michael J. King: You must meet residency requirements and have grounds for divorce. I’ll help you file the paperwork and represent you through the process.
2. How is child custody decided?
Michael J. King: The court looks at the child’s best interests. That includes stability, safety, and the parents’ ability to co-parent. I fight for fair and balanced custody arrangements.
3. Can I modify a custody or support order?
Michael J. King: Yes. If circumstances have changed—like income, relocation, or the child’s needs—you can request a modification. I can guide you through that process.
4. What’s the difference between legal and physical custody?
Michael J. King: Legal custody means decision-making rights (like education and healthcare). Physical custody is where the child lives. You can have one, both, or share each.
5. Do grandparents have visitation rights?
Michael J. King: In certain situations, yes. Arkansas allows grandparents to petition for visitation under specific conditions. It’s not automatic, but it’s possible.
6. How long does a divorce take?
Michael J. King: If it’s uncontested, it could be done in a few months. Contested divorces take longer depending on custody, property, and other disputes.
7. How is child support calculated?
Michael J. King: It’s based on the non-custodial parent’s income, number of children, and Arkansas guidelines. I’ll make sure the calculations are fair and accurate.
8. Do I need a lawyer if we agree on everything?
Michael J. King: It’s still smart to have legal guidance. I’ll make sure the agreement is enforceable and you’re not overlooking anything important.
9. Can I get alimony or spousal support?
Michael J. King: Possibly. It depends on factors like income, length of the marriage, and contributions to the household. We’ll go over your unique situation.
10. Will I have to go to court?
Michael J. King: Not always. Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. But if court is necessary, I’ll be ready to represent you aggressively
