Julie A. Schafer, Esq.- an Akron, Ohio full service law office

Helping you solve legal issues throughout your life.

I am a single, unmarried father who wants to be involved in my child's life -- what are my rights?

Are you paying child support but never get to see your child?
Has paternity been established? Is your name on your child's birth certificate?
Do you think you have no rights because you weren't married to your child's mother?

We weren't married and he doesn't pay child support, but now my child's father wants to have regular visitation with my child. Do I have to let him? He's threatened to take my child away from me!!

HELP! Children Services has taken my children! How can I get them back?!

I am now unemployed and can't pay my child support payments. Am I going to jail?

Just because I didn't pay my child support on time, they took my drivers license! Can you help?

Which is better for me/us? A corporation or a limited liability company?

When can I finally get my record expunged?

My husband died and we had a "Survivorship Deed." Does the deed have to be redone to transfer it to just me?

My wife recently passed away and evidently she had a number of bank accounts and CDs that I didn't know about. How do I get these funds transferred to me and do I have to open a Probate Estate?

I got sued but I didn't show up at the hearing. Now there's a judgment against me and I can't pay - what do I do?

I hired a contractor to work on my house and they didn't do a good job. What can I do about it?

I have a job, but I can't pay all my bills and the collectors are calling all the time. What can I do?

My son just got a 10 day out of school suspension, and they're considering expelling him! He didn't do what they're accusing him of. How can we fight this?

My spouse and I have been divorced for a while, and we have conflicts every now and then about our kids. We would like to resolve these issues without going to court - can we use a "mediator?"

My husband and I want an amicable divorce. Can we use a mediator instead of an attorney to come up with an agreement?

I don't have a Will. Can't I just use the on-line Will forms?

I don't want to end up like Terry Schiavo. Do I need a Health Care Power of Attorney or a Living Will?

Call me and I'll help you find out!
