Modern Families Look Different Today

 

There is no single picture of a family anymore.

Families are built through marriage, remarriage, adoption, grandparents raising grandchildren, stepparents stepping in, parents living in different places, and people choosing to care for children who need them.

 

What matters is not whether a family looks traditional.

 

What matters is whether the children in that family are safe, loved, supported, and given the chance to grow up without carrying the weight of adult conflict.

 

After nearly three decades in family law, I have learned that the strongest legal solution is not always the loudest one.

 

Sometimes litigation is necessary.

But whenever possible, I believe in solving the problem without creating three more problems in the process.

 

Children deserve adults who make thoughtful decisions.

 

Families deserve legal advice that looks beyond the next hearing.

 

And when a case does require a courtroom, it should still be approached with the understanding that these people may remain connected to one another for years to come.

 

That is the kind of family law I practice.

 

 

Protect the child. Strengthen the family. Find the path forward.

​

Families come to me at very different moments.

Sometimes a parent needs to establish or change custody. Sometimes a child’s needs have changed and an old parenting plan no longer works.

Sometimes a grandparent or relative has stepped in to provide stability. Sometimes a stepparent is ready to make a family relationship legally permanent through adoption.


Whatever brought you here, the goal is not simply to create more conflict.


The goal is to understand what is happening, protect the child, and find the strongest path forward. 

​

Kim is an experienced family law attorney who focuses on Custody & Adoption for Mississippi families.   


Custody

Custody cases can involve far more than deciding where a child sleeps.


I help families with initial custody determinations, modifications, parenting time, relocation, long-distance parenting, grandparent and third-party custody, and difficult situations where a child’s circumstances have significantly changed.

Divorce

 

Divorce is both a legal process and a major life transition.

 

Some divorces can be resolved through careful negotiation and well-drafted agreements.

 

Others require litigation to protect a client's rights. Knowing the difference—and knowing when to negotiate and when to stand firm—matters.

 

Kim Haney Law Office represents clients in divorce matters involving:

  • Uncontested and agreed divorce

  • Contested divorce

  • Property division

  • Marital homes and real estate

  • Retirement and financial accounts

  • Alimony and support

  • Child custody and parenting arrangements

  • Child support

  • Business and financial issues

  • Settlement negotiations

  • Modification and enforcement of prior orders

 

Whenever possible, the focus is on reaching a thoughtful resolution without unnecessary expense or hostility. When litigation is necessary, clients receive experienced representation with a clear understanding of the issues that truly matter.
