Cheryl Rowe
Rowe Law Offices, P.C.
For over 25 years, I have helped many clients with a variety of legal matters. I understand the stress and anxiety that a client goes through in the midst of these life changing events. My practice focuses on Divorce, Custody, Support, Bankruptcy and Estate Planning as well as Estate Administration. I have extensive trial experience, but I am committed to helping each client resolve their matters out of court whenever possible.
Focusing on each client's particular needs and desires, in addition to a deep commitment to client service, is the foundation of my practice. Listening and working together with the client to develop a game plan is essential to a productive attorney-client relationship. I try my best to satisfy the client's needs, and to achieve productive resolutions, using a combination of negotiation, as well as litigation strategies.
Throughout the case, my client and I work as a team, keeping in communication with each other to ensure that questions are answered, and tweaking our approach to various issues along the way.
Give us a call. You will find my seasoned staff to be personable, professional and committed to helping you every step of the way. All of us in my office believe that client service is top priority. Your phone call will be answered timely by a human being, never an answering machine. We don't have answering machines and we don't have menus that ask you to wait until someone live picks up the phone. Why? Because I strongly believe that most people need to hear from a caring person immediately. We care about you.
For our veterans and those currently serving in the military, I am happy to take 10% off all fees. Family members of mine have served in every war going back to WWII.
I would appreciate the opportunity to be of help, so please give us a call and let us set up a time for a free consultation to go over your legal problem or issue. I look forward to seeing you soon.

- Q. My mother has filed a complaint for custody of my son.
- A: I would seriously consider consulting with a lawyer in your area. You will end up in court, if only for the mediation, if that is ordered in your county. It is unlikely to be resolved at mediation, and I never advise clients to go to court without a good lawyer with you. You will be given court dates, and most likely, you will end up in front of a custody master, who will work with you, her and the attorneys, to try to resolve the case. If it cannot be resolved, you will end in front of the judge. Many lawyers, like me, offer free consultations. I strongly suggest that you sit down and go over the details of your situation with a lawyer in your region. Best of luck to you.
- Q. I have shared parenting with my kid father is it still legal to continue on child support on the kid's father
- A: If he has more than half of the overnights, he would not owe anything to you. If you have 50/50, the person with the higher income is usually required to pay something(I would have to know your incomes to tell you the exact numbers), and if he has less than 40% of the overnights, the support guidelines do not allow a reduction in the amount owed to you. Best of luck to you!
- Q. Custody and child support
- A: I would advise following the court order, if one exists. If you feel your 11 year old has really good reasons for not wanting to go, then you can petition to modify the current order. Whether you will succeed is something that I could not answer without knowing more details. If you have the kids more than 50% of the time, which is determined by the number of overnights each parent has, and if that parent supports the kids, then it is likely that you will not have to pay support. In fact, she may owe you support. I don't know where you are writing from, but I would highly recommend calling for a consultation with a lawyer in your area. Many, like me, offer free consultations.
