Family LawHattiesburg and Brookhaven Divorce and Custody LawyerFamily law is an emotionally charged area. At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, serving clients in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, our goal is to strip away the emotional elements and get straight to the facts. Our firm handles family law matters that can break up and unite families. Divorce is sometimes a necessary step for a married couple to take when they have exhausted all other options. Yet the trauma that a family suffers can change relationships forever. Our goal is to mediate disputes and not let them become fodder for courtroom testimony. Issues over child custody and child support can turn a cooperative divorce into war. While mediation is not required in divorce and related issues, it is strongly encouraged for clients who come to the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, seeking a divorce action. Irreconcilable differences that end a marriage do not have to affect the negotiations. Mediation is a way to air the issues in a cooperative environment and, most importantly, give you control of the outcome. Litigation gives all the decision-making power to the judge. Those important life decisions should come from you and your spouse. Mediation keeps the best interests of your children in mind in custody and support matters, and it shields them from any courtroom litigation. Adoption is a part of family law that does not involve the pain of separation. Adding to a family through adoption is complex, time consuming, and sometimes frustrating, but the rewards of bringing a new child into your home make up for all of that.
