Her guidance through the mediation process was invaluable.
The divorce process was made a little less painful by the skilled group at Conner & Roberts. My questions were answered promptly and with clarity. The legal secretary, Mary, always remembered my name when I came to the office and made me feel at ease. Jada, the paralegal, was always quick to respond to my emails when I had questions. Leah, my attorney, was patient, responsive, and made me feel confident throughout the process. Her guidance through the mediation process was invaluable in reaching a mutually agreed upon settlement. I would highly recommend Conner & Roberts if you need family law legal advice.

Highly Recommend Connor and Roberts
I highly recommend Connor and Roberts for any legal needs. I was treated with respect and not judged. They helped me with two different cases and did a wonderful job. My divorce and my OOP didn't take long and was handled by Chastain who works with this law office. I would use them again in the future if needed! Thank you, Chastain, for representing me in the court system.

Tawanna Tawanna
Great attorneys, great support staff!
I went through a painful divorce. The process took over a year. Conner and Roberts were there with me the whole time, never took advantage of my situation, and didn't break the bank. Two years later, when I was selling a house I had bought after my divorce and needed a copy of my divorce papers for the realtor, one call to the secretary was all it took, and immediately the information was in my inbox! Great attorneys, great support staff!
Sophus Lie

John Craw
Divorce sucks! Good lawyer helps.
Divorce sucks! But when you have a good lawyer that's going to explain everything and answer your endless questions, that makes things easier. Getting an appointment was easy. The people answering the phone were even nice. Let's face it, in today's world it's hurry up and get rid of people on the phone. Just make the appointment and go away. Not them. That was really nice. Life was not going well and they just handled the hard stuff.

Sole custody means one parent has the primary responsibility for the child's upbringing. This parent makes key decisions regarding the child's welfare, education, and health. The non-custodial parent may have visitation rights but not decision-making authority without agreement from the custodial parent.
What if a parent violates the custody order?
If a parent violates a custody order, the other parent can contact the court to report the violation. The court may enforce the order through legal means, including sanctions or modifications of custody arrangements. It is best to document violations and seek legal counsel to address these issues properly.
How is custody determined?
Custody is determined by considering the best interests of the child. Factors may include the child's age, health, emotional ties with parents, parents' ability to care for the child, and the child's ties to home, school, and community. Courts aim to facilitate stability and continuity for the child.
What are parenting plans?
Parenting plans are detailed agreements between parents outlining how they will raise their child post-separation. This includes scheduling, decision-making, and dispute resolution methods. A well-crafted plan helps ensure both parents are engaged in the child's life and can help minimize conflicts.
