Family Law

Salem, Oregon, Family Law Attorney

Whether the issue is determining child custody, dissolving a domestic partnership, or establishing paternity, family law matters are never easy on the emotions within a family. At the Law Office of Elaine Smith-Koop, I have more than 15 years of experience handling these very overwhelming situations. Contact an Oregon paternity lawyer to discuss your individual needs. My law office handles a full range of family law matters, including:

• Divorce
• Child custody, support, and visitation
• Paternity
• Modification of custody, parenting time, or support
• Grandparents' rights
• Restraining orders
• Domestic partnerships
• Family law appeals

Domestic Partnership Dissolution

Individuals who cohabitate but are not married should be allowed the same legal structure as married couples in the event of a separation. I assist these individuals with any disputes that arise thereof.

Grandparents' Rights

It is becoming more common that parents may be incapable of properly caring for their child, due to a drug addiction, mental illness, or other reason. It is possible for grandparents to obtain visitation rights, custody, and even child support. I assist the grandparent in proving that they have been the psychological parent to the child and work to achieve court orders for custody.

Paternity

When a couple has a child outside of marriage, concerns often arise when a separation occurs. I assist clients in establishing child custody and parenting time orders as well as child support. If you are concerned about the other parent fleeing with your child, I can assist in obtaining orders restraining them from doing so before court orders of custody are established.
