Juvenile Law in Alabama: Protecting the Rights and Future of Your Child
Juvenile law in Alabama deals with legal matters involving minors, including issues of delinquency, dependency, and custody. At Wilson & Guthrie, LLC, we understand that navigating the juvenile justice system can be overwhelming and emotionally challenging for families. Our team is here to provide experienced, compassionate representation to protect your child's rights and ensure their future is safeguarded.
Juvenile Delinquency Cases
Juvenile delinquency cases involve minors (under the age of 18) who have been accused of committing a crime. The Alabama juvenile justice system focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to help minors make positive changes and avoid future legal troubles. However, these cases can still carry serious consequences, including probation, detention, and a lasting impact on your child's legal record. Wilson & Guthrie is committed to providing a strong defense and working toward the best possible outcome for your child.
Juvenile Dependency and Custody Matters
In addition to delinquency, juvenile courts handle dependency and custody cases, where the welfare of a child is at stake. These cases may arise due to allegations of neglect, abuse, or an unstable home environment. Whether you are a parent, guardian, or relative seeking custody, or if your child has been placed in protective care, we will work tirelessly to protect the best interests of the child and advocate for your rights.
Paternity and Custody Petitions
Establishing paternity or modifying custody arrangements often requires court involvement, especially when there are disputes or concerns about a child's well-being. Our firm represents clients in Juvenile Court for custody petitions, advocating for fair parenting time, child support, and the overall well-being of the child.
