As the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down activity across the world, more and more men and fathers are facing questions about how the virus is going to affect their divorce or child custody situation.
Guys across the United States have come to Cordell & Cordell’s divorce attorneys with questions about family law matters that are going to have a monumental impact on their lives. Some of the most frequently asked questions include:
- How are rights to parenting time and visitation affected during shelter-in-place orders?

- How can I pay child support or alimony if I lost my job or had a large decrease in income because of COVID-19?
