Specializing in Divorce and Family Law Welcome to the Law Office of Kevin Hoop, P.C, a family law firm serving the Kansas City metropolitan area. The office handles a number of domestic issues including: Family law is the general description applied to legal issues arising in the context of inter-personal relationships. Most often, attorneys who practice in this area will work to resolve issues arising between spouses contemplating divorce. This may include working with the parties to determine a fair property distribution, suggesting a child custody and visitation schedule, and determining a likely child support amount based on the parties' situation. Of course, custody and support matters also arise between partners who are not married and a family law attorney can also help in the process of determining paternity and establishing a legal custody and child support order for children born out of wedlock. Another significant practice area for family law attorneys is adoption and a number of practitioners specialize in this area. The context for adoption often varies considerably. For example, a step-parent may wish to adopt a spouse's child, a foster family may be seeking to make a placement permanent, or an individual or couple may be considering a foreign adoption. In these cases and others, an attorney is necessary to assist the parties in completing the required steps for a legal adoption. Finally, a family law attorney can also be of assistance to parties contemplating marriage. In the modern era of two-income families and second marriages, pre-marital agreements are no longer unusual. Individuals seeking to protect assets acquired through years of effort, or to ensure adult children receive their intended inheritance, can benefit from speaking with an attorney about these concerns prior to a subsequent marriage.
