They have been very thorough in my case, not rushing through anything or missing a single detail. They have such a wonderful and kind team, who diligently work toward your goal, and the best possible outcome. A special thanks to Samantha H. And Lyndell H. For such excellent work and commitment to my case. They have went above and beyond to ensure not only I understand everything, keeping me updated and involved but also in searching out every piece of information needed to ensure success. I highly recommend them for any and all of your legal needs.

I had a great experience working with Sydney Bohn and Joanna Browning. They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, and their communication was excellent. They always kept me informed, answered my questions, and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. Most importantly, they made me feel comfortable during a very stressful time. I truly appreciate their professionalism, kindness, and support.

Our family faced one of the toughest times in our life with our oldest son recently! Gabby and Jen came to our rescue! They worked hard to help not only us navigate one of the toughest times , but they also worked hard to give our son a voice! These ladies are a force to be reckoned with! I can’t say enough good things about these wonderful ladies. We didn’t just feel like another client, we felt like they truly cared! They put my mind at east anytime I had a question or concern. They were always there to answer my questions and reassure us that everything was going to be okay! It didn’t matter what time of day or what day of the week it was, they were always there to ease my mind! If you find yourself in a tough custody battle, and need help, give Gabby a call! She’s super sweet, but she’s tough! Thanks so much to Gabby and Jen for helping our family!! We are truly grateful! 🩷

Tammy Adam’s was extremely helpful. I spoke with her in regards to needing a divorce attorney and I asked if anyone could help me because I live in Ohio and my husband lives in West Virginia and she took my information and she was just very knowledgeable and passionate about my situation.

What our clients have to say

Mikey Pinson 6 days ago

While the legal representation I received from Gabby and Jennifer was good and entirely to my satisfaction—and I would give them a 5-star rating individually—I am extremely disappointed with the billing department's lack of communication and poor customer service at Klie Law Offices. I called two weeks ago to dispute unexpected charges on my account and was told I would receive a call back, which never happened. When I called again today to follow up, I spoke with a representative named Nicole, who became incredibly hostile and unprofessional. When I challenged her on the billing discrepancies, she completely lost her composure and raised her voice to a near-yelling tone. Instead of providing clarity, she chose to become defensive and dismissive. Then, when I naturally got upset by her behavior, she tried to backpedal and take back what she had done. It is a shame that the 5-star work done by the legal team is completely overshadowed by such unacceptable administrative treatment. A professional law firm should handle billing questions with calm transparency and respect, not aggressive outbursts and a total lack of accountability.

Klie Law Office F.A.Q

1. How will the new co-parenting and custody laws affect my case?

In 2024, co-parenting laws continue to evolve, impacting child custody cases and the way courts approach shared custody rights. The latest child custody laws emphasize the best interest of the child, which means both parents may need to adjust to joint custody agreements. Courts also consider factors such as the child's age, school stability, and parental involvement when making custody decisions. It's important to consult a family law attorney to understand how these new child custody regulations apply to your specific situation, ensuring that you are fully aware of your legal custody rights.

2. How can I protect my assets during a divorce?

Protecting your assets during a divorce is critical, especially in high-stakes cases involving substantial financial holdings. Asset protection in divorce starts with identifying marital vs. separate property, ensuring that any financial planning for divorce includes safeguarding your retirement accounts and shared business interests. Strategies like prenuptial or postnuptial agreements can be useful in protecting assets from divorce. Courts will evaluate your financial contributions and categorize assets during the division of assets phase, so it's essential to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options for protecting your property during the property division in divorce process.

3. What are my rights when it comes to spousal support (alimony)?

Understanding your rights regarding spousal support or alimony is crucial during divorce proceedings. Alimony guidelines vary by state, but factors such as the length of the marriage, the income disparity between spouses, and each spouse's future earning potential play a significant role in determining spousal maintenance. There are different types of alimony, such as temporary vs. permanent alimony, and knowing which applies to your case is essential. You may also seek alimony modification in the future if circumstances change, so discussing your alimony eligibility with a qualified attorney ensures you are aware of what you can request or what you may be required to pay.

4. How do I prove parental alienation in a child custody case?

Proving parental alienation in a child custody case can be challenging but is possible with the right evidence. Signs of parental alienation include the child showing unwarranted hostility toward one parent, refusal to spend time with the alienated parent, or repeating negative narratives instigated by the other parent. To present evidence of parental alienation in court, it’s crucial to document interactions, seek witnesses, and potentially bring in a mental health expert to testify about the psychological impact of parental alienation on the child. Courts take parental alienation in custody disputes seriously, and proving it could impact custody decisions in your favor.

5. How can I modify child support or custody agreements after my divorce?

Life circumstances often change after a divorce, and you may need to seek a modification of child support or custody agreements. A request for custody modification might be due to a relocation, job change, or significant shift in financial situations. Courts allow for post-divorce custody modifications if you can prove that the change is in the child’s best interest. Similarly, if your financial situation has shifted, you may need to adjust child support payments. A child support modification process involves submitting proof of your new financial status and a formal request to the court. Whether you’re seeking a change in co-parenting arrangements or financial obligations, it’s essential to follow the legal steps to modify these agreements properly.

Your west virginia Rights & Options

You’re considering a divorce, but you have children. Should you stay together for their sake?

As attorney Erika Klie Kolenich explains, staying together for the children isn’t always the right thing to do. If you’re in an unhappy or unhealthy relationship, it’s not in your children’s interests to keep them in that situation.

If you’re considering a divorce or dealing with another family law matter in West Virginia, contact Klie Law Offices today.

What is Equitable Distribution?

Klie Law Offices June 5, 2024 1:37 pm

Your spouse committed adultery, abandonment, or otherwise caused your divorce. Do you still have to share the value of your home, your retirement, and your other assets with them?

The short answer is yes, but how much you’ll have to share depends on the situation. West Virginia uses the “equitable distribution” rule in divorce and separation, which means the judge has to divide your assets in a way that’s fair, but not necessarily equal. Fault is one of many factors the judge can take into account, and good legal arguments can help you protect more of your assets, as long as the overall division of property is broadly equal.

This is a complicated and nuanced topic, and it’s important to have good legal counsel. If you are getting divorced or considering a divorce, contact Klie Law Offices today to speak with an experienced family law attorney.
