When children are involved in a relationship that’s ending, additional decisions need to be made; for instance, determinations of custody, parenting time, and child support.  There is also often added urgency in terms of needing to get a plan in place to determine care and support for the children in the short term.

At Beth Allen Law, we work with you to craft a strategy for both short term and long term solutions.  Our attorneys are knowledgeable about how statutory policies and court trends might affect a case and can put this knowledge to use in advocating for you.  Additionally, courts and judges in each locality have their own practices, procedures and preferences, which our group of attorneys and staff know how to navigate.  The bulk of our cases are in the Portland metropolitan area (including the Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, the Washington County Circuit Court in Hillsboro, the Clackamas County Circuit Court in Oregon City and the Clark County Superior Court in Vancouver, Washington).  Given our knowledge of the issues facing same-sex couples in particular, we are always ready to take on or consult on matters outside of the Portland area as well.

We believe that ALL families matter and are proud to be your community law firm.
