​
Families change.
​
People marry, separate, divorce, remarry, adopt children, blend households, relocate, raise grandchildren, and sometimes discover that agreements made years ago no longer fit the life they are living today.
 
Kim Haney Law Office helps families navigate those changes with experienced legal guidance, practical strategy, and a focus on finding solutions that work beyond the courthouse.
 
Custody & Divorce 
When a relationship ends, the decisions made about children, property, finances, and parenting can affect a family for years.

  • Divorce and separation
  • Child custody
  • Parenting plans and parenting schedules
  • Child support
  • Custody and support modifications
  • Relocation
  • Grandparent and third-party custody matters
  • Negotiation and settlement
  • Uncontested divorce
  • Post-divorce and post-custody issues

Adoption & Family Formation
Some family-law matters are about ending one chapter. Adoption is about beginning another.
 
Kim Haney Law Office assists families with:
  • Stepparent adoption
  • Grandparent and relative adoption
  • Private adoption matters
  • Termination of parental rights associated with adoption
  • Guardianships involving minor children
  • Name changes
 
 
The goal is to help families create the legal security and permanence that reflect the family they have already built.
​
Pre-Divorce and Custody Agreements 
Some of the best family-law work happens before there is a dispute.
Thoughtful planning can provide clarity, protect assets, establish expectations, and reduce uncertainty later.
 
Services include:
  • Prenuptial agreements
  • Postnuptial agreements
  • Pre-divorce and pre-separation planning
  • Parenting-plan development
  • Agreed custody arrangements
  • Agreed modifications
  • Family agreements following remarriage or the creation of a blended family
 
Good legal planning is not about expecting something to go wrong. It is about making important decisions carefully while you still have the opportunity to do so.

When Life Changes After Court
 
A court order may resolve a case, but life continues to change.
 
Children grow. Jobs change. Parents move. School schedules change. Financial circumstances change. An arrangement that worked several years ago may no longer fit the family.
 
Kim Haney Law Office helps clients understand existing divorce and custody orders and determine whether changes may be appropriate.
 
When an agreement can be reached, the firm can help turn that agreement into clear legal documents and guide the family through the approval process.
 
When a dispute cannot be resolved by agreement, Kim helps clients understand their options and determine the appropriate path forward.
 
Mediation & Resolution
 
Not every disagreement needs to become prolonged litigation.
 
Mediation and negotiation can give families greater control over decisions involving children, property, finances, and their future.
 
Kim's nearly three decades of family-law experience inform an approach that recognizes an important distinction:
 
Some matters need compromise.
Some need careful planning.
Some need firm boundaries.
And some require court intervention.
The goal is to determine which approach actually serves the family—not simply which approach creates the most conflict.
​
A Family Law Practice Built Around Families
 
Family law should be about more than winning a case.
It should be about helping people make good decisions during some of the most important transitions of their lives.
 
At Kim Haney Law Office, the objective is straightforward: protect what matters, reduce unnecessary conflict, and help families find a workable path forward.
 
And when children are involved, put them first.
