At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., in Portland, Oregon, our lawyers focus on the following areas of our family law practice:

Experience guides us. Resolve drives us. Contact us at (503) 946-5373.

  • Grandparents & Extended Family Rights - While the current laws involving persons other than a child's biological parents present challenges, we do represent extended family members looking out for the best interests of children.
  • Child Support - We use child support calculations as a starting point. Each child and parent has individual needs and we will address all of them in determining support.
  • Spousal Support & Alimony - Money issues can turn a cooperative divorce into a war. Let us resolve these contentious alimony matters in mediation or litigation. We handle transitional, maintenance, and compensatory spousal support cases and we are familiar with the income tax aspects of Spousal Support awards.
  • Custody & Parenting Time - Parents agreeing on custody and parenting time can facilitate long-term, positive relationships within a family. We are experienced in handling custody litigation, if needed.
  • Interstate Custody - Custody issues can become complicated with parents in different states. We bring experience in this specific area and a thorough knowledge of the law.
  • International Custody, Enforcement & Discovery - Our experience at the federal level allows us to handle international custody cases involving the Hague Convention.
  • Parenting Coordination & Attorney Representing Children - Your child may need legal representation if you and your spouse cannot agree on the outstanding issues.
  • Child Relocations - The relocation of your child to another state or country can be an emotional time when you need an aggressive legal advocate on your side to protect your rights.
  • Modifications of Custody, Child Support & Spousal Support - Revisiting a divorce decree years later is commonly needed as circumstances change over time. A handshake agreement with your ex-spouse will not suffice.
