Family law conflicts are more complex when a special needs child is involved, as their best interests must remain a priority, often requiring modifications to divorce orders. When a child with special needs turns 18, they may need ongoing care, along with a conservator or guardian. We guide families through the conservatorship process and can help incorporate long-term care planning into your estate plan.
Special Needs Divorce
A special needs child can significantly impact decisions on custody, support, and property division. Parenting time should minimize disruptions, and noncustodial parents may contest child support if medical or educational costs exceed standard calculations. The primary caregiver may also seek a larger share of assets and request spousal support if ongoing care is needed. We represent families in divorce proceedings to protect the best interests of special needs children.
