FAMILY LAW

At the Deaton Law Firm we understand how frustrating the breakup of a marriage can be. Couples do not begin their marriage with a goal of divorce.  Despite the dreams of newlyweds, divorce can become an inevitable consequence of a broken relationship.

Our staff is empathetic to the upheaval that comes with the end of a marriage.  We understand your concerns about the impact it may have on your children, and extended family.  "Our goal is to help our clients and their families in reaching the calm after the storm."  Divorce involves a plethora of emotional, and financial decisions, as well as many new found frustrations. Ruth Hughes-Deaton assists our clients in separating two adult lives, and in dividing the property acquired during the marriage. At the same time she seamlessly navigates the various complex legal matters before the court required in obtaining a divorce.

We understand and respect our client’s desires to maintain their privacy during this difficult time. Whether you need guidance toward modifying existing court orders, to draft an amicable divorce agreement, or you are in for a bitter uphill battle, Ms. Deaton has the experience, skills, and resoluteness required in assisting you to resolve your issue.  We explore alternatives to litigation with you when alternatives are in your best interest, and we will boldly advocate on your behalf if your case goes to court.  Our staff is accessible to address your concerns, and makes a commitment to you to keep you informed of the status of your case.

Our experience with family law matters include divorce, temporary orders, adoption, pre-nuptial agreements, child custody matters, child support, modification of existing orders involving children, final decrees, and other important family law matters.
