Ante-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial Agreements
When a couple decides to marry, they often believe that their marriage will last forever. In today's society, though, reality dictates that couples with significant assets plan for the possibility that their marriage may not last. Proper planning does not equal doubt, however. Instead, it is prudence. This is true even if the couple acquires significant wealth after the marriage. Robin Dietz-Mayfield has the experience to guide a couple through this process without creating unnecessary headaches.

Child Custody Contests
The presence of a child in any marriages ignites tensions quickly. Parents are anxious to resolve who will get legal custody, physical custody, and custodial custody. Robin Dietz-Mayfield has represented parents in countless contested custody hearings. She knows how to achieve the best result possible for you, and your child.

Temporary & Permanent Support
When one spouse elects to leave the other spouse, the couple's responsibilities do not disappear instantaneously. The couple still has joint bills, mortgage, and often children to support. No spouse should have to support the couple's household alone. Robin Dietz-Mayfield will work aggressively to hold your spouse accountable for his or her responsibilities, even during the period before you end your relationship. You do not have to fend off creditors alone. Let Robin Dietz-Mayfield help you.

Maintenance Adjustments
Life constantly changes all personal situations. When a person loses a job, wins the lottery, remarries, or has a child, the person's maintenance obligations and rights change. Robin Dietz-Mayfield can help you insure you are paying or receiving what is fair, not what your former spouse wants.

Paternity Contests
Are you a single mother struggling to raise a child without the father's support? Has dad denied all responsibility for his child? A paternity action can confirm who is the father of the child, and if successful, allow you to begin compelling the father to assist in raising your child. Robin Dietz-Mayfield knows the intricacies of compelling a father to share in the responsibility of raising a child. If you need help in securing the support of your child's husband, let Robin Dietz-Mayfield's experience work for you.
