Arcadia, OK Lawyers - Family Law   

Throughout our history, family law has remained one of the most important services we provide to families in the Arcadia area. Family law, by design, is more complicated than many of the other areas we provide across our firm. We understand that this complexity can be frustrating to both sides in any family law case, and we are here to try and ease any of the stress you may be feeling. We may not be able to rid you of this anxiety, but we can help mitigate any confusion you may have regarding your family law case. 

 Most people assume that family law includes divorce or child custody alone, and while those services play a large role in family law, they are not the only services that we offer. Additionally, we offer services for adoption, paternity, and protective orders for Arcadian residents. 

 Here are descriptions for each of the family law services we provide for families living in Arcadia:   

 Adoption – Adoption can be one of the most exciting, yet complicated processes you may ever have to go through. Though the process has an extremely rewarding conclusion, it can be a time-consuming and expensive ordeal the rest of the time. To make sure you follow all steps and procedures properly when it comes to adoption, make sure you contact an experienced family law attorney that can help you through the duration of the case (such as a Ball Morse Lowe family law attorney!). 

Child Custody – If you’ve done some research on your own regarding child custody laws, it may seem like an easy and straight-forward process, but this is far from the experience that many go through in the state of Oklahoma. There are a lot of procedures to follow, and many decisions that must be made in the best interest of the child/children. To make sure you are following all of these guidelines correctly and working amicably with your former partner, consider reaching out to one of our family law attorneys. 

Divorce – Divorce can be messy and can destroy families if the results are not agreed upon amicably. You have to decide how to split all of the assets you’ve acquired over the course of the marriage, as well as a new living situation in many cases. In divorces involving minor children, you must also go through a child custody battle on top of the aforementioned frustrations. Even the most peaceful divorces are not an easy process. This is why it is absolutely crucial to find a divorce attorney that can help you navigate this difficult time for you and your family. They may not be able to fix all of your worries, but they can provide information and advice needed to find the best solution for you and your former spouse. 

Protective Orders – Protective orders are designed to protect victims of abuse of any kind by preventing the abuser from contacting or being near the victim at any time. On top of protective orders, our attorneys in Arcadia can provide clients with emergency ex parte orders that are similar to these orders, but do not notify the abuser in any form. Contact our family law attorneys today to guarantee your safety. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you are seeking assistance. 

Paternity – Paternity is a crucial step in many child custody cases, and sometimes it can be difficult for the courts to recognize who a child’s father is. Paternity determines health insurance, child support, and legal rights for the father. There are three methods used to determine paternity in Oklahoma, including parentage, presumption, and acknowledgment. With a proper family law attorney, you can navigate the paternity process correctly in the state of Oklahoma. 

Father’s Rights – Working in tandem with paternity, father’s rights determine the rights a father has to see their children, if possible. Without a court order in place, fathers may have a difficult time seeing their children if these children were born out of wedlock. Contact our Arcadia attorneys today to explore the options to you as a father. 

Attorneys in Arcadia, OK - Estate Planning and Wills   

In this next section, we will guide you through the kinds of estate planning and probate services we offer for Arcadian residents. Don’t hesitate to schedule your free consultation with Ball Morse Lowe if you find the service you are looking for!  

Estate Planning – Estate planning, on the surface, may seem like it is not important until the later stages of life. While it is hard to think about, you never know when you or a loved one may pass away, leaving the ones you love without a plan for dividing your estate. It is important to protect your assets to the best of your ability with the help of an experienced estate planning attorney. Remember, if you are an adult with assets of any kind, it is never too early to create an estate plan for you and your family. Contact our attorneys today! 

Elder Law – Elder law works hand in hand with estate planning, as both are designed to prepare seniors for financial matters in the second half of life. At Ball Morse Lowe, we value each and every one of our clients, and seniors are no different to this rule. If you are a senior in the Arcadia area, contact us today to explore your options for the second half of life! 

Probate – Probate is a time-consuming and expensive case that is entirely avoidable with certain estate plans. However, there are cases when a loved one may not have planned their estate to avoid probate, and now the remaining family members must scramble to do so themselves. Our estate planning attorneys can help you and your family by representing both beneficiaries and heirs when an administrator or executor has breached their duty. Contact one of our probate attorneys at Ball Morse Lowe today! 

Wills and Trusts – When it comes to estate plans, the two most popular plans to use are wills and trusts. With a will, you can specify your selected beneficiaries, your assets, and can even select a guardian for your children. However, a will does not avoid probate after your passing. With a trust, you can select your beneficiaries and assets, but most importantly, you can completely avoid the probate process altogether. Ball Morse Lowe estate planning attorneys strongly recommend using a trust to best ensure your legacy. 

Cohabitation Agreements – For cohabitating couples looking for some security in their relationship without the commitment of marriage, a cohabitation agreement may be right for you. With a cohabitation agreement, you can determine how you would like to split your assets and what should happen to any property you own together following the end of the relationship. Unlike marriage, cohabitation agreements can be easily broken in the eyes of the court. If you are seeking a cohabitation agreement with your partner, make sure to reach out to Ball Morse Lowe today! 

Arcadia, OK Attorneys - Business Law   

Similar to family law, business law cases can be extremely complex, and especially so if it is your first time seeking a business law service. This is why it is important to find an experienced business law attorney that can assist you and your business through this process, no matter the service you require. You may need help with business litigation, entity formation, or more. At Ball Morse Lowe, we know each and every business law case we receive is completely unique to the individual and their company, and we are devoted to providing custom-tailored solutions that work for you. 

Business Litigation – Whether you are the owner of a small or large company, litigation can be expensive. Our business law attorneys can assist you and your company with any business litigation matters, ranging from business torts, contract and real estate disputes, professional negligence, fraud claims, probate litigation, or class action lawsuits. We recommend contacting a business law attorney as early in the litigation process as possible. 

Entity Formation – Forming a company from the ground up can be exciting, but like any other service listed throughout this guide, it comes with its fair share of procedures to learn. Even if you are buying a business, you must choose the right legal entity to avoid tax risks. Our Arcadia lawyers can help you with shareholder agreements, entity conversions, corporate governance problems, and any other related service. 

Succession Planning – After creating a company and maintaining it over several years, you have provided yourself the means to retire and live life comfortably. As appealing as this option is, you would also like to provide your company and employees with the right replacement and future success. With succession planning, you can guarantee the success of your company following your retirement, and you can even select an heir to the company that will replace you following your departure. 

Acquisitions – Whether you’re the buyer or seller in a business acquisition, you must make sure that all paperwork and funds are in the right place. The seller must negotiate the price and ensure the business will succeed after the transaction. These acquisitions can require financing arrangements, leases, entity formations, valuations, contracts, and more. Our Arcadia attorneys are here to help you through each of them.

Mergers and Divestitures – Mergers and divestitures are used to maximize your assets and help your business. Mergers are used to consolidate multiple companies into one large corporation, while divestitures are used when a business wishes to get rid of certain assets within the company by exchanging, closing, or selling. Both of these options are great options for certain companies, and our business law attorneys are here to help you determine which is right for you and your company. 

Arcadia, OK Attorneys - Other Areas of Expertise   

Below we have attached a few services that do not fit with the other areas listed above, but that doesn’t mean they are not as important. If you find a service you require, please do not hesitate to get in contact with one of our Arcadia attorneys today! 

Product Liability – We have all purchased a product, expecting it to work effectively, with it only to fail our expectations entirely. Though these defective items are frustrating, they are simply fixed by returning the item to the store you bought it from originally. However, there are certain cases when a defective product causes serious injury. If you are looking for reimbursement for these injuries, do not hesitate to reach out to one of our attorneys today! 

Real Estate – Our attorneys in Arcadia specialize in residential and commercial real estate matters, helping residents whether they are owners, sellers, developers, and more. Whether you are dealing with a contract or warranty breach, contract disputes, fraud, lease negotiations, or foreclosure, our attorneys understand that each and every case is unique, and we strive to provide clients with solutions in real estate matters! 

Personal Injury – It is quite common to be injured in a car accident or a similar accident. Often times, no one is at fault, and neither party must bring the action to court. However, there are cases where there is clear fault due to the negligence of the offending party, leading to a personal injury case. If you or a loved one is seeking a personal injury lawsuit, contact our lawyers at Ball Morse Lowe. 

Power of Attorney – Powers of attorney are used in many different areas, such as finances or health care. They can be used to grant a selected trusted individual (an agent) to act on behalf of another individual who has become mentally incapable of making decisions on their own. These powers are outlined in a document and state explicitly how they would handle these affairs in a normal state. If you are looking to become an agent on someone’s behalf, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our attorneys today!
