Adoption

Adopting a child can be one of the most exciting experiences of your life. However, it can also be a very stressful experience, as the process of adoption can be a difficult one. It is especially crucial that it is done correctly so that families can rest assured that nothing will come along to disturb the relationships that have been built.

Adoption can be a very emotional process. Hiring a lawyer who has worked in the area of adoption and who has the personal experience of adopting a child themselves can be very helpful. Attorney Jewitte Dooley has the personal and legal experience. As an adoptive parent herself, Jewitte has understanding of the joy of adopting a child. At Jewitte Dooley Law, we provide legal representation with a personal touch for families seeking to grow their family through adoption.

Custody/Visitation/Child Support

When a couple with children split up, it can be a very stressful experience for everyone involved. By having someone help guide you through the process, it can help minimize this stress by helping you work to come to an agreement that everyone in the family can understand and accept.

At Jewitte Dooley Law, we work with you to ensure that you understand the process and any stress involved is minimized. We know that going through a divorce or separation is stressful enough–on top of a child custody battle. Even if a separation is amicable, it is still advisable to work with a family law attorney to ensure that important schedule and child support arrangements are established correctly and are enforceable.

Criminal Domestic Violence

By definition, domestic violence is an altercation that occurs between two people sharing some form of personal relationship–it may be between blood relatives, romantic partners, or roommates–this is a very real issue in South Carolina and should not be taken lightly. These incidents can take many forms, they may be recurring or a single event, and can range in severity from harassment to irreparable physical harm.

Given the breadth of potential domestic violence charges, it is recommended that you contact a Lexington domestic violence attorney, who specializes in this area of the law, to see if you have a case. At Jewitte Dooley Law we can help you press charges, or defend your rights when you are accused of these very serious allegations.
